Crying in H Mart

When Zauner's mother is diagnosed with cancer, the Korean dishes they shared become a language for everything that goes unsaid, and later a way to hold on to a heritage she feared losing.

The musician behind Japanese Breakfast writes with sensory immediacy - the snap of a persimmon, the sting of a rebuke - and refuses easy consolation. intendle recommends it for anyone who has stood weeping in a grocery aisle, or who understands that identity is often inherited through the stomach. A #1 New York Times bestseller and Goodreads Choice winner, it began as a viral essay and grew into a modern classic of the food-and-family memoir.
