Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner
emotional
inspiring
reflective
sad
medium-paced
“Maybe I want wrinkles. Maybe I want reminders that I’ve lived my life!”
“She would always suffer to bring me comfort, that that was how you knew someone really loved you.”
It’s hard to say that I enjoyed this memoir because it’s so heartbreaking but Michelle’s story of her mom is also so beautiful in the face of so much sadness. (Definitely recommend the audiobook.) It’s hard to understand the love between a mother and daughter when you’re an outsider but Michelle’s wonderful writing about her mom makes you feel enough of their bond to experience her grief.
I haven’t listened to Japanese Breakfast, but now I have to!
