A review by booksanna
Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

dark emotional inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

I will preface this review by saying that memoirs are not typically my repertoire, yet this book dragged me out of a severe case of a reading slump. Firstly, the author’s beautiful writing provides soothing comforting and ever so meaningful story of her life. I especially enjoyed how she blended food with other themes of her life. As an immigrant myself, this book was a deep relieving sign of breath, and a nice warming cup of soup. For a book with only 200 pages, it could not have been more meaningfully written. The author’s eloquent writing captivated my mind and my mouth water with all of the appealing descriptions of foods. The story of overcoming grief and overcoming disassociation with your culture truly inspired deep thought in me. This book was truly wonderful, and I am so happy that I gave a chance. You should too.
