Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This book made me both laugh and cry--I love that in a book. I thoroughly enjoyed the reflective nature of Zauner's memoir and the way she told a heartwrenching story through food. As a mixed race person living in America, I can sympathize with the struggle of finding your place in the world while caught between 2 (or more) different cultures. Telling her story through the recipes she learned snd recreated throughout this period of her life was a clever way of enlivening her narrative through taste and smell. Truly a fantastic read.
