One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2021Goodreads Choice Awards 2021: Winner, Memoir & AutobiographyThe New York Times bestseller from the Grammy-nominated indie rockstar Japanese Breakfast, an unflinching, deeply moving memoir about growing up mixed-race, Korean food, losing her Korean mother, and forging her own identity, reclaiming the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her.'As good as everyone says it is and, yes, it will have you in tears. An essential read for anybody who has lost a loved one, as well as those who haven't' - Marie-Claire'Possibly the best book I've read all year . . . I will be buying copies for friends and family this Christmas.' Rukmini Iyer in the Guardian 'Best Food Books of 2021''Wonderful . . . The writing about Korean food is gorgeous . . . but as a brilliant kimchi-related metaphor shows, Zauner's deepest concern is the ferment, and delicacy, of complicated lives.' Victoria Segal, Sunday Times, 'My favourite read of the year'In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humour and heart, she tells of growing up the only Asian-American kid at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. As she grew up, moving to the east coast for college, finding work in the restaurant industry, performing gigs with her fledgling band - and meeting the man who would become her husband - her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother's diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her. Vivacious, lyrical and honest, Michelle Zauner's voice is as radiantly alive on the page as it is onstage. Rich with intimate anecdotes that will resonate widely, Crying in H Mart is a book to cherish, share, and reread.

Rezension von EniEventhough the grief of loosing her mother fueled her to write this book, I feel like the main theme is identity. Which for Zauner is deeply linked to her mother and is shaken by her passing. I loved that the honest portrayal of unconditional love and abuse could just stand alongside each other. Both truths in their own right. I also liked her descriptivness; portraying not only recepies and meals with accuracy, but people, there behavior and her perception.
Rezension von Maurice Lorsch3.5⭐️
Rezension von LenaVerlust, Trauer und Erinnerungen. Ganz toll und gleichzeitig so schmerzhaft. Der Tod ist so ungerecht und was bleibt sind die Erinnerungen.
Rezension von MaraEine Alltagsgeschichte, die ich mir wünsche, nicht zu meiner werden muss. Vom Erwachsenen werden. Vom Leben und aufwachsen in zwei Kulturellen. Über das verlieren geliebter Menschen. Über zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen und vor allem ÜBER GANZ VIEL LECKERES ESSEN. (hatte dauerhaft Hunger)
Rezension von FraniThis book had me crying on the subway—it’s the most beautiful and hurting memoir about grief and losing a loved one that I’ve ever read. If you have the emotional capacity, I highly recommend picking it up.
