A very personal and deep book on how the author copes and ponders over the death of her youngest son whom she honours through this book.
Children die, and parents go on living.
The book is astonishing, the words carefully chosen, circularity by reusing certain sentences with slightly different meanings. Unfathomable to lose both children by suicide and having “radical acceptance” of the choices they made.
A beautiful book, though not for everyone.

Loved this book. It touched me deeply. I feel that any parent that has a child that struggles with mental health issues should read this book.. Yiyun Li writes beautifully about the lack of control a parent has in their adult child’s life and learning to accept that. It’s a touching, thought provoking book.
