Chung is obviously a very skilled writer and wrote about such a difficult time in her life with poise and so much heart. Although there were some rather religious bits that annoyed me, I could feel how much she loved her parents and the toll their loss took on her. The COVID 19 pandemic's part in the book was really interesting (and gutting) too. I haven't lost a parent yet, but I imagine those who have will be very struck by this book.
