so beautifully done. I could feel her exquisite heartbreak and sobbed for everything she lived through and lost.
Though I haven’t read many memoirs I must say that this one would have to rank pretty high on that short list! I actually listened to this as an audio book with Michelle Zauner herself as the narrator. I immensely enjoyed the food descriptions throughout (which had me wanting to YouTube some recipes and try making some recipes!) and found my mouth watering on occasions. The love that was shown through food in this family and culture spoke to me. I love cooking and sharing that with those around me. Michelle’s complicated relationship with her mother had to have been a hard thing to share in such a revealing way but this also must have been very healing. After finishing the book I listened to her band Japanese Breakfast - the album Psychopomp which includes most of the songs she wrote after the loss of her mother. Not having listened to much indie pop before, I rather enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed this book. I always love reading about other customs and traditions. I related to her several times throughout this read.
