Seeing Ghosts by Kat Chow

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.25

This book hits hard and hits very close to home, so like many others I was tempted to put it down because it was uncomfortable and painful. However, I'm very glad I stuck it out. Chow's journalistic training is apparent as this book is matter of fact and surprisingly informative on historical contexts surrounding her family's story. She is also an insightful, talented writer depicting her life and growth as a person with grace. If anything, this book leaves you with a deeper appreciation of her and a curiosity to dive into the rest of her work. I first heard of this book when she interviewed Michelle Zauner about Crying in Hmart at an event in DC. She is meticulous to find all facets of the story, even when she herself is the subject, but she does it with real care and compassion.
