Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner
\n< p>Click here to request or download\nIn this exquisite story of family\, food\, gr ief\, and endurance\, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzl ing singer\, songwriter\, and guitarist. With humour and heart\, she tells of growing up the only Asian-American kid at her school in Eugene\, Orego n\; of struggling with her mother&rsquo\;s particular\, high expectations of her\; of a painful adolescence\; of treasured months spent in her grand mother&rsquo\;s tiny apartment in Seoul\, where she and her mother would b ond\, late at night\, over heaping plates of food. As she grew up\, moving to the east coast for college\, finding work in the restaurant industry\, performing gigs with her fledgling band &ndash\; and meeting the man who would become her husband &ndash\; her Koreanness began to feel ever more d istant\, even as she found the life she wanted to live.
\nIt was her mother&rsquo\;s diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer\, when Michelle w as twenty-five\, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste\, language\, and history her mother had giv en her.
