Description
Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner
I generally do not read non-fiction because my primary purpose for reading is escapism. I want to go places and meet people that are far removed from my reality- where I know there will always be a happy ending. So, when a trusted friend suggested Crying in H Mart, I put it on my TBR without reading the synopsis or any reviews. I needed a non-fiction book to earn a badge for my Prime Reading Spring Challenge, so I decided that this book would check that particular box.
I had no idea just how much I needed to read this emotionally raw and poignant memoir. I do not know what growing up a half-Asian child in America feels like. But, as a black child of emigrant parents, I can identify with the disenfranchisement and the longing to fit in which Michelle Zauner so eloquently describes in this novel. As the daughter of a Mother who was brutally honest and lovingly hypercritical, I understood this writer’s point of view. As a child whose mother’s love language was cooking and serving food to feed as well as heal the soul, I loved experiencing the gastronomic journey Michelle and Chongmi traveled. As a woman who has lost her mother to the beast that is cancer, I appreciated the way that this author laid her most brutally painful feelings and memories bare for us, more than Ms. Zauner will ever know.
