One of the best books I’ve read in a while. I feel the author wrote this book for me. My mom died of cancer and the author captured the many emotions that I went through. A snapshot of mother daughter complexities and stupid ass cancer. Absolutely loved it. Thanks Michelle Zauner. A beautiful beautiful beautiful book.
This is a love letter about Michelle’s mom. And a tribute to how food frames both culture and family. I confess needing to look up many of the Korean foods mentioned here but they are clearly poignant reminders of her mom and will remain so for a very long time. Cancer sucks. And is a hugely unpredictable foe.
