It made me feel things and was mostly well written, but there was something I didn't like about it. Can't put my finger on it though.

I ended up putting this down on about page 130 or so. Sadly, I was distracted by the vignettes that pulled away from Thandi and her story.

I had difficulty with this one. Its written in a flowy random stream of consciousness style. It is a book about loss and dealing with the grief after. I had a hard time following though since we jump all throughout the authors life. Good book, this style just isn't for me.

Check it out though, it may be for you!

touching novel about the loss of one's mother. "I've amazed myself with how well I've learned to live around her absence. This void is my constant companion, no matter what I do. Nothing will fit it, and it will never go away."

"for every suffering there is equal and opposite joy."
