Books of Solace: Exploring Grief Through Memoirs

In this episode of The Snobby Sister’s Book Club, Pesha and Rachel discuss reading books about grief specifically through a comparison of Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, and My Year of Magical Thinking, by Joan Didion. They discuss which book reads like a coming of age book and which one is more of an exploration into how the human brain responds to grief, which books made them cry more, and why exactly they read depressing books in response to depressing times. Other books mentioned in this episode:The Shadow King by Maaza MengisteLet’s Take the Long Way Home by Gail CaldwellAll the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick BringleyFrom the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E.
