Crying in h mart by Michelle Zauner is a heartbreaking but fascinating memoir in which she writes about the connection between her and her mother, her youth, and the power of food and cooking.
In the memoir, Zauner recalls treasured memories of her youth and describes her life in her childhood as a Korean American and now as an adult. She also brings Korean dishes to life and describes the taste and smell of each and every one of the childhood Korean dishes she enjoyed and now making them as an adult to remember her mother who passed away due to cancer reasons. Crying in h mart was one of the saddest memoirs I have ever read but in the memoir, you see what it is like growing up with a Korean mother and a Caucasian father and you discover traditional Korean dishes.
I feel like you would understand the author's situation better if you were in her situation before or went through a similar situation as she did. This book has funny and joyful family gatherings, grieving or sad sections, and Michelle cooks to bring her mother back to life now as an adult which is really heartwarming to me. Crying in h mart was a rollercoaster of emotions and events but five out of five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐for being my favorite memoir! I would recommend this book for teens and adults 13+ as it has some course language written in the book.
