Crying in H Mart is a candid and touching memoir by Michelle Zauner, best known as the frontwoman of Japanese Breakfast, that delves into her Korean-American upbringing, the complexities of her identity, and the devastating loss of her mother to cancer. Zauner takes us through her early years feeling out of place in Eugene, Oregon, the bond formed with her mother through the language of food during visits to Seoul, and her professional pursuits in music. As Zauner navigates adulthood and the rituals of Korean cooking as solace and connection to her heritage, she embarks on a poignant journey of self-discovery and a tribute to the unbreakable mother-daughter bond.
