Beautifully written. This author does such a great job taking such a place of brokenness and turning it into something that readers can relate to and find comfort in.
Everyone's expression of grief and association with grief is unique. I resonated with some of Adichie's feelings at the loss of her beloved father.
A beautiful little book about the experience of the author losing her father. She has some beautiful language to describe grief and the feelings associated with it. Her love for her father is evident and her disbelief of his death is palpable. She lost her father during the pandemic so the feelings were similar to mine when losing my mother.
This book is interesting but not in a way you recommend to your friends or try to sell in a review. It's about the kind of pain one only feels on the loss of a truly loved member of the family. The kind of ripping, grinding grief that can only really be understood by those who have felt it. Having been there, I understand her. And I appreciate having a small knowledge of her father, who must have been a truly wonderful man. But having had this experience, there was nothing really to be gained from reading about it. And, had I not experienced it for myself, reading about it would do no good.
Salvando dos o tres excepciones, toca muy cerca de casa. Lloré en absolutamente todas las páginas, y sentí por fin que alguien expresaba en palabras todo el dolor que siento desde que mi viejo nos dejó el año pasado por el covid. Un dolor que caló tan, pero tan profundo que hasta el día de hoy hay momentos en los cuales no solo respirar se vuelve una tarea titánica, sino cualquier tarea de la cotidianidad.
