If very demure, very mindfull was a book, this would be it. It however was way to demure for my taste, and its a shame. The raw feelings and turbulent relationships were right there, but hidden behind matt glass and feathersoft pillows with no tangable impact.

This is beautifully written; but so sad. A woman writing about her life and looking back at her traumatic childhood (poverty, abuse) and her escape which brought her to a place she feels out of place in. It's a very humbling book, one that makes you feel seen as a human. It's seems simple, but it's really the opposite. It's difficult to explain. But I want to read more.
