CNA captured the essence of her grief in a way that was beautifully poignant and profound. Many lines touched me and will stand out in my mind forever. She hit the nail on the head by describing the painful albeit honest notion of 'the world moves on but you are still stuck in your grief.'
“Does love bring, even if unconsciously, the delusional arrogance of expecting never to be touched by grief?”

Incredible writing, the author really transmitted her feelings in a powerful way.
I am curious about the rest of her work!

This book is a heartbreaking account of how Adichie lost her father during the Coronavirus pandemic. It would be great for anyone who needs to feel heard/seen after losing a loved one. For the same reason, I think it needs a trigger warning for anyone who has recently lost a loved one.
This one is super short, the audiobook being only an hour and a half. Adichie narrates it herself and her accent is so beautiful. I think it feels even more touching and emotional because she is narrating it.
My favorite quote from it is: "I have mourned in the past but only now have I touched grief's core."
