challenging dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

Utterly devastating and raw. Deraniyagala starts the book just a few minutes before the December 26, 2004 tsunami hits Yala, Sri Lanka, where she, her husband, her two sons, and her parents are staying on holiday. She is the only member of her family to survive.

In this book, she chronicles the months and years that came after, and her very human ebbs and flows through tremendous grief. I am grateful she is able to share her story with us.
