Coming Back by Jessi Zabarsky

emotional hopeful relaxing medium-paced

4.0

A simple and gentle story about adaptation and community, Coming Back is unique in that it feels both simple and grand. Stretching across different places and communities, this could have been much grander if the author had chosen. However, the simplicity and concentration on the primary story of a young couple kept apart and a child holds the story on their own.

The story artfully touches on much deeper themes such as the longing to be a parent and going against cultural traditions. These nods to deeper topics are not explicitly delved into but are undoubtedly present, giving this quick read a level of depth and meaning.
