 - Am I the last queer person on earth to read LONG LIVE THE TRIBE OF FATHERLESS GIRLS? Maybe. Am I glad I finally did it? My goodness, yes.
- This book is incredible. Madden is detailing some horrific events, and yet this book is so tender, both toward her younger self and her family.
- At first I wasn't sure about the vignette style of storytelling, with all the jumping around in time. I'm glad I stuck with it, though, because the way Madden's story unwinds at the end of the book is spectacular.

Wow wow wow. I don't usually give star ratings to memoirs because it feels unfair but this book deserves all the stars, plus I need a way to mark it to stand out from others I've read this year. Because it did, does, and will stand out. I was so emotionally moved and cried so hard through some parts of this book. The parts about finding long lost family members really touched me because I've had similar experiences.

The quality, tone, vocabulary of the writing here... It's just so good. I heard someone else (on a podcast probably) describe T Kira Madden's writing as lyrical and I can't disagree. This was such a powerful read for me and I'm sure I'll come back to thinking about it for a long time.
