ONE HUNDRED DAYS by Alice Pung 

CW: Child Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Confinement, Bullying, Gaslighting. 

What a rollercoaster ride this book puts you through. I read this book relatively quickly as I needed to see how the story progressed. Pung has magnificently crafted a story of love, loss, jealousy and how they can be presented in warped ways. 

OHD explores the complex relationship between mothers and their daughters and how they each navigate growing independence. Ultimately I loved Karuna’s journey and how she grew into herself when she became a mother and how the love for her child gave her a newfound purpose that had been stripped away. 

A confronting but beautiful read.
