I enjoyed the first part of the book, but expected the wallowing to ease up some as we continued. It didn't, and I had to make myself finish it. I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't that.

This book will stay with me for a long time. It was not what I expected but it was a great read. The fractured writing style really captured the fracture and fragility of Deraniyagala's experience and coming to terms with her losses and new life. You really feel like you've been on the journey with her.
