Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner as one of our most powerful and memorable book club reads—a deeply moving memoir that explores identity, grief, and the ways food binds us to our heritage and each other.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Korean culinary traditions, Zauner’s story takes us inside her complicated relationship with her mother, her journey to embrace her Korean American identity, and the bittersweet process of losing—and rediscovering—family through food. This memoir is a raw, honest look at love, loss, and the ways we try to hold on to what matters most.
But Crying in H Mart is more than just a story to read—it’s an experience to savor. As we move through Zauner’s world, we’re invited to taste the flavors of Korea: the spicy, savory warmth of kimchi jjigae, the comfort of shared meals, and the healing that comes from both cooking and remembering. This book reminds us that recipes can be acts of love, and that the kitchen is often where our deepest stories are told.
