Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

emotional inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

If there was ever a book that I felt connected to me its this one. The author had a beautiful way of describing the intricacies and unique harshness of an asian parents love and what it means. How their affection is shown in ways that isn’t always conventional. She wrote truthfully on her grief and hardships when confronted by her mother’s cancer. That, and how she had to take a productive role in her mother’s care and how that also led to her desperate attempts to reconnect to her Korean Identity that tied the two of them so closely together. Her internal and external conflicts were described wholly and honestly in explicit detail. I think anyone who has close ties to someone who was or is sick or someone who has an asian parent or parents will read this book and connect to it. But even with out that you are given incredible insight into the life of someone who had go through those experiences.
