sometimes i swear the universe gives you things you need sometimes, and this book feels like it was much needed for me (i found it searching through available ebooks on Libby)

this is a novel about trauma, family, friends, myth/spirituality, history, and healing - especially about healing, even if that healing takes time (and a lot of it) or support from those around you

it is heavy in some ways, but light in other distinct ways - would definitely recommend

An exploration of a family you can’t help but love, cry for and hold within your heart. With magnificent prose and gutting sentiment, Francesca Ekwuyasi brings you close to tears and beyond, and back again through the grief of a painful but striking lifetime of familyhood.
