4.0

Thunig uses the Indigenous understanding of time as circular to structure her memoir of childhood poverty, addiction, incarceration and resilience. She writes beautifully about how her ancestors, self and descendents are part of moments, history, place and time. You cannot read this book without thinking of The Glass Castle. As an adult, Thunig has tried to understand her parent’s addiction and trauma as well as all the character-building lessons they taught her. This was a rare example when I would have liked a memoir to be longer, to sit in moments a little longer, to tell us a little more. But I’m grateful for what is here and the deep insights it offers.
