An excellent memoir. I think it describes the themes of grief, food and family very well. I loved all the passionate descriptions of food and the fond memories they hold.

I’m still grappling the loss of my own mother and reading through Michelle’s experiences was incredibly cathartic for me.  It made me look at my life now and examine not just the relationship I had with me mother but the relationship I have with my own daughters and the impression I want to leave on them and about our own connections to food and how it really is something that binds us all together.

I’m so glad I finally picked this book up. Michelle Zauner tells her story in such a beautifully simple and frank way and then suddenly drops in a detail that guts you. I’m not sure it’s possible to read this book without getting emotional. The audiobook is read by the author and added to the emotional impact of the story as well. A tough read, but worth it.

Brilliant book. My favorite memoir by far and I loved it so much. Psychopomp means so much to me now.
