Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

challenging emotional informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

I think anyone who’s a first generation American and halfie or experienced grief can identify with this book. While the author writes specifically about her journey about her Korean identity and dealing with her mother, I think being half Asian with similar experiences I was really drawn to this book. Her struggles with language barrier hit so close to home and learning to get closer to her culture/identity through food is something I really understood too well. The author writes this memoir for those in similar situations and there’s so many layers to where I think several people can appreciate this book - Korean or not.
