A review by megansoetaert
Ma and Me by Putsata Reang

emotional medium-paced

5.0

Ma and Me is an incredibly thoughtful and emotional memoir. The emotions that Reang has for herself, her life, and her mother can be felt so vividly. At once a memoir for herself and her mother, this book connects the lines of both of their lives to portray love, grief, misunderstanding, desires, culture, and trauma. It's so well-written and reflective--you can tell that Reang has deeply thought about everything in her and her mother's lives in a way that not all memoirs portray. I also loved learning about Khmer culture and history, especially from the care of Reang and her family.
