Notes on Grief, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
emotional
reflective
sad
fast-paced
4.5
This book is a heartbreaking account of how Adichie lost her father during the Coronavirus pandemic. It would be great for anyone who needs to feel heard/seen after losing a loved one. For the same reason, I think it needs a trigger warning for anyone who has recently lost a loved one.
This one is super short, the audiobook being only an hour and a half. Adichie narrates it herself and her accent is so beautiful. I think it feels even more touching and emotional because she is narrating it.
My favorite quote from it is: "I have mourned in the past but only now have I touched grief's core."
