I promise you guys this book is not as bad as my rating.
It's just not the book that I would pick, because it's not really my cup of tea.
Oke sejujurnya gue tau buku ini dari twt, specifically in menfess. Orang orang bilang itu sedih, ya nggak bisa gue pungkiri bahwa buku nya memang sedih dan mengandung banyak pesan moral baik terkait sikap atau perilaku kita ke orang tua kita.
Kekurangan secara umumnya dari buku yang gue baca:
Masih banyak typo, bukunya kelihatan penuh banget mungkin dari margin ataupun dari paragraf nya yang bikin bukunya kelihatan sesek banget.
Overall oke dari segi bukunya, tapi not my cup of tea aja.
Banyak pelajaran yang bisa gue dapet dari buku ini.

Reading this novel I felt my mind slipping to Bonnie Burstow's book Radical Feminist Therapy, and how womanhood (and motherhood specifically) is thankless, and our relationship to mother and father in the context of the patriarchy is a damning fate. It can be easy to overlook the mother, who is tasked with providing everything and is given almost nothing in return. This novel is a series of "looking backs" of a family's life who surrounded a mother who was left alone and overlooked in life at various turns. I think this is also a harder read for those who do not have a good relationship with their mother, and I found myself fighting between feelings of anger and sympathy throughout.
It's always hard to evaluate a translation- you can never be sure what you've lost in the process.

“Mothers and daughters existing as wretched mirrors of each other: I am all you could have been and you
are all I might be.”
I don’t have a good relationship with my mother but I think I need to go hug her now.
I miss my ammamma, I think of her often.
