Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Definitely don’t read Crying in H Mart while hungry. Zauner’s memoir is about her experience moving back to the west coast as a young 25-year-old to take care of her mother with cancer. Interwoven with delectable descriptions of the food that Zauner learns to make to feel closer to her mother, Zauner reflects on her the few months leading up to her mother’s death. 
 
Zauner’s emotional debut is for anyone that has lost someone, specifically a parent. What makes Zauner’s memoir special is that it is a story to which many can relate. Zauner’s own perspective as a bi-racial Korean American while grappling with navigating the music world as a young artist and learning to connect with her heritage through food. I really recommend picking this one up if you’re in the mood for a telling, powerful memoir.
