emotional reflective sad medium-paced

100% recommend the audiobook, as narrated by the author. I prefer reading memoirs this way especially if the author is the narrator as it adds a personal touch to the reading experience. It also helps with hearing how words are pronounced.

Zauner beautifully explores the mother-daughter relationship through the lens of a multiethnic family. As a second-gen immigrant & person of mixed ethnicity, I found myself relating a lot to Zauner, especially in the last two chapters. The emphasis on food served so much more to the story than just a way to make readers hungry. I often found myself craving the foods described while also experiencing the emotions felt by the author in each chapter. If you're searching for a food memoir with a bit of everything, consider checking out "Crying in H-Mart".

Zauner’s writing is impeccable: emotional, thought-provoking, witty. The book invites us to partake in her nostalgia for her home, her family, and the Korean dishes that connect her to her mom.

The story is heartbreaking and gorgeous. It is raw.

I enjoyed it immensely.
