The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich

challenging dark informative sad tense medium-paced

3.5

This was an uncomfortable read. A fact of a body resonates beyond the individual and ripples along anyone who knew the person and within that family, often becoming generational. I was ready to share passages from the read, that I thought pertinent to the character and the author, but I’m just having trouble doing it. Our experiences shape the way we see the world and what is done to us and others. Being a mother, and a childhood victim myself, my experiences shape me as overly protective and, may be sad to some, unforgiving to these criminals. Silence hurts, indifference hurts. Learning and consequences cause and allow change in my eyes.
