Crying in H Mart

Mishchel grew up and left home to build her own life, far from her parents and their expectations. A few years later, forgetting the teenage resentments, she returns to help her mother fight a hopeless illness that won’t leave them any chances… Trying to cope with her loss, Michelle remembers how her mother cared for her, how deliciously she cooked for her. And she learns to cook her favorite dishes herself. The taste of childhood helps catch the thread of her mother’s love and find herself. “Michelle cries in the supermarket” is a nostalgic novel about childhood and growing up—about adolescence’s prolonged rebellion, searching for one’s identity, big grief, and the healing power of beloved food. This story makes you want to hug your mom tightly and never let go.
