Sinossi
Con struggente umorismo, Michelle Zauner racconta la propria esistenza a partire dall'infanzia, quando era una delle pochissime bambine di origine asiatica nella sua scuola di Eugene, in Oregon, e doveva soddisfare le aspettative di una madre esigentissima, fino alla sofferta adolescenza; e poi le estati passate nel minuscolo appartamento della nonna a Seul, dove, davanti ai piatti tipici della cucina coreana, il suo legame con la madre si fa sempre più forte. Michelle cresce, si trasferisce sulla East Coast per frequentare il college, inizia a muovere i primi passi nel mondo della musica e conosce l'uomo che diventerà suo marito. Sta costruendo la vita che vuole vivere, le radici coreane sembrano sempre più distanti. Fino a quando, a venticinque anni, la notizia che sua madre ha un cancro in fase terminale la spinge ad andare in cerca della propria identità culturale. E a riscattare il patrimonio di sapori, profumi, linguaggi e tradizioni che la donna le ha donato. Schietta e poetica, la voce di Michelle Zauner risuona luminosa sulla pagina come sul palco. Ricco di aneddoti personali e di foto di famiglia, Crying in H Mart è un libro da leggere, rileggere, amare e condividere.

Recensioni
Crying in H Mart is my favorite book of all time. The quiet devastation, the raw emotion, the sheer wisdom inside its pages. It brought tears to my eyes practically every other page. I've never gone through such an emotional journey triggered by a book before. The sense of impending doom and the hea Leggi tutto
Sometimes the reason everyone calls a book One Of The Best Books Of The Year is because it is. Everyone gives it a five star rating because it's five star level. Everyone calls it buzzed-about because it's buzz-worthy. Everyone calls it the best of the genre in recent memory because that's obvious. ( Leggi tutto
It feels weird to rate this book, because while reading it, I felt like the book was not intended to be for anybody but the author herself. She dives into all the food associated with her culture and mother, and it feels very personal and uniquely hers. All of her descriptions and experiences are un Leggi tutto
It pains me to not really like this memoir. I had such high expectations and I feel really guilty for not liking the story Michelle Zauner told. There were definitely beautiful moments, but overall I did not enjoy the writing or the way the story was told. I know I am definitely in the minority and
It is not that this book isn’t well written. It is. But I just wonder how critically acclaimed it would be if the author was not an indie pop star. It is a pretty boring story - I enjoyed some of the cultural things but overall it just seemed like a story of a young woman who struggled with her mom Leggi tutto
I was worried I’d have some bias in favor of this book since Michelle is a pal, but I can confidently say that, by any metric, it’s incredible. Lots of tears, but some laughs too. It’s a bare and brutal memoir, full of truth and tenderness. Really a gift.
i feel like this book wasnt written for readers, but for MZ herself. its a cathartic exercise through grief and heartbreak and life. its extremely personal, which makes me not want to review this. but i genuinely hope it helped MZ work through her pain and sorrow. im gonna go call my mom now. ↠ 4.5 Leggi tutto
Warning. Unpopular opinion. the relationship is abusive emotionally and physically. It doesn’t matter if a person feeds you delicious food or know all of your favorites or if they tell you each and every time that they only want the best for you etc. good intentions can and should be done without da Leggi tutto
Absolutely it’s the right thing to vote for this book for Goodreads Choice Awards 2021. I knew this book would be my ruin as soon as I read the opening. I knew I would cry my eyes out and kept thinking about that heart wrenching mother- daughter story for weeks because after devouring a few chapters Leggi tutto
