I read this book after I lost my mom, hoping to find some solidarity and comfort.
Reading it, I often felt myself distancing from Adichie’s explanation of grief. I often had very different experiences in dealing with my mother’s death and found we had very differing views of grieving and being able to continue with life.
Still, Adichie’s honest, hopeful reflections were a great comfort in grief and isolation nonetheless.
