Notes on Grief by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
5.0
TW - Loss of a parent
I don't feel right to review this book which is so personal to the author so I will keep it short.
The author lost her father on 10th June 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic, she learned about this incident through a zoom call. After hearing this news, she felt in a state of denial. It was hard for her to accept that her father, a man she dearly loved as a kid, is no more in this world.
For a brief period of time, she was in a state of denial, At a certain point, it felt she was looking for words to describe how she is feeling.
This book is a tribute to her father as well as her love as a daughter, It was an emotional, very well written book. Adichie’s novels are large, bold and capacious with huge historical events as well as individual lives. This book is also a grief letter full of sorrow to her father. She wants her back, she wants to rescue his father from death, she wished she spent more time with her father in her last days, she feels a lot of different emotions and hard to put it down on papers.
