A review by professional_grandma
Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

challenging emotional reflective sad slow-paced

4.25

This style of writing brought me into the story and made me ache at her pains. Michelle Zauner’s ability  to transition seamlessly between memories and time periods was fascinating. Her descriptions of food, music, and bittersweet memories with her mother kept me hooked to the end. This memoir shed a light on a perspective that I have no experience with. Though I will never understand this experience, it made me empathize with the pain of it and grew my perspective on so many things.
The one thing I didn’t agree with in this book was the discussion of religion as something people were forced into. However, everyone has different opinions and by the end the author seemed more open minded about it.
