Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

this is a brilliant book. michelle describes the world she grew up in with such detail and emotionality everything is painted so vivid. The way she describes the connection to food and her mom reminded me of my jewish family and how food is integral to gatherings and events. dishes are passed down from bubbe to mother to daughter — everyone arguing who makes the best matzo balls and if they should be hard or soft. this book is so personal and yet so profoundly universal.
