My heart breaks. I knew my heart would break but the writer is such a compelling storyteller that I found it hard to put down and read it all in one sitting. It is devastatingly beautiful.

This is the year of the twentieth anniversary of her death, the year I have lived more years without her than I did with her.

This one is hard to rate or discuss, it's just completely heartbreaking.

Devastating. Just devastating. I am breathless with Trethewey's grief.

I probably would have liked this more if it wasn't required reading during final exams.

Had to read it - resisted due to the topic. This is such excellent transcribing of her journey to unearth the repressed feelings and loss of her mother.
