From the moment I saw this book around I knew I needed to read it and from the very first pages I knew this was going to be a book to stay with me long after I’ve finished it.

Crying in H Mart is a memoir that is not for the faint hearted. It is brutal as Michelle deals with the death of her mother but also beautiful and even cozy at times since it explored the role of Korean food in the authors life.

Many times I couldn’t hold my tears, even though I come from a different culture there’s many things I could relate to special the mother and daughter relationship.

What a journey! I specially enjoyed how by the end the author embraced even more korean culture and coincidentally today I went with my mother to a Korean restaurant as I finished this book.
