This is a book that makes you come face-to-face with the mortality of life as it is a memoir where the author is witnessing her mom die.
The author, Michelle Zauner, is the singer-songwriter best known for her band Japanese Breakfast.
Through her complicated but mostly positive relationship she shows the reader that why food and H mart is the place where she misses her mother the most. One of those reasons being that H marts (Korean American supermarket chain) were the places where her mom, a Korean native, felt right at home and could share her culture with her wasian daughter.
It is scared because that’s the place where her otherwise impassive, calm and collected mother, who advised her to keep 10 percent of herself hidden from everyone, expressed her emotions.
So, this is a sad book about someone losing their loved one.
It is particularly hard one to “review” because you don’t want to critique real people and their grief.
I guess, I’ll just leave it at that.
On a side note, I do feel really happy that Japanese Breakfast’s first successful album is essentially the songs that Michelle wrote while seeing her mom battle cancer.
