Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

emotional medium-paced

4.0

This memoir was a beautiful story honoring the author’s mother. It was a very raw take on caring for a sick family members and all of the struggles that come with. It is intertwined with personal recounts of traveling and growing up half Korean in America that were equally as interesting. 

I think this quote was so impactful:
I thought of how cyclical it was to be sandwiched between my new husband and my deceased mother. I imagined our four bodies in aerial view. On the right side, two newlyweds beginning their first chapter, on the left, a widower and a corpse, closing the book on over thirty years of marriage. 

This memoir makes me want to go home and hug my mom and never take that for granted again.
