ššš I know itās called Crying in H Mart but MAN is my heart feeling stomped on. This book was so beautifully written, focusing on grief, Korean-American identity, the role of food in loving relationships, and caretaking at the end of life. š«¶ This book is not light reading by any means, but I loved it. It brought me back to my nursing career and caring for patients at the end of life. Seeing your loved ones stop eating at the end of their life is incredibly difficult, especially when food is a way you show love. So much love can be felt when making a recipe from a parent or grandparent, adding spices until itās āØjust rightāØ. I gotta go call my mom š„¹

I never really intended to read this book. As my motherās biggest fan, I tend to avoid books with this subject matter. Zach assigned this book to me as a must read and Iām glad!
The author is a phenomenal storyteller. The writing is beautiful. I found myself feeling inspired to love my family harder, explore your creativity, and appreciate how people love you.
āIf there was a god, it seemed my mother must have had her foot on his neck, demanding good things come my way.ā

This book was hard for me (having lost a relative to colon cancer, it was not fun to relive the painful death from this illness). Moms dying are a tough genre. It reminded me of Joan Didionās My Year of Magical Thinking. The way that the author connected and kept her mother close to her, Eden after death, through gorgeous, salty, spicy, fatty foods was a delight.
