Description
Crying in H Mart is a deeply moving memoir about growing up dual-heritage, Korean food, and forging one's own identity. Michelle Zauner shares her story of family, food, grief, and joy, revealing a voice that is both humorous and heart-wrenching. As she navigates her Korean-American upbringing, Zauner recounts her struggles with her mother's expectations, her painful adolescence, and the treasured months spent in her grandmother's apartment in Seoul. Her mother's diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer forces a reckoning with her identity, and Zauner finds solace in the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her. This memoir is a rich and intimate account of one woman's journey, full of vivid anecdotes and a voice that shines on the page.
