Everyone’s grief experience is different, but dang she does know what it’s like to be a half orphan and so do I. Shoutout to her

a realistic depiction of grief in all its complexities. from her style of writing, choices of words, even the length of the chapters - just such a good depiction of a universal human experience

This is grief and brilliant writing put together in the most intimate and raw way

"Grief is a cruel kind of education. You learn how ungentle mourning can be, how full of anger. You learn how glib condolences can feel. You learn how much grief is about language, the failure of language and the grasping for language."
too short to feel like a helping hand for whatever I've felt in the last months but at least chimamanda ngozi adichie puts into words what I've been unable to tell: "For the rest of my life, I will live with my hands outstretched for things that are no longer there."

"I am writing about my father in the past tense, and I cannot believe I am writing about my father in the past tense."

lindo ensaio, muito bem traduzido, visceral
"slow" mas no sentido de a ser mastigado aos poucos, mas li em uma hora
