Very sincere touching memoirs about her family and their journey through a family member's untimely yet impending death. Despite how the theme of grief never leaves the book, the joy and beauty of familial ties is strong, and there is also quite good insight into the 70s and 80s era of Singapore, particularly Western-inclined families' lifestyle.

Really great read about reflecting on her sister's life and their memories together! I laughed, teared at parts. Her experience and description of her relationship with her family is very relatable to mine.
