Brass by Xhenet Aliu

4.0

A touching family drama told from two different perspectives: Mother and daughter. As the perspectives shift we're given the internal insight these two characters will never witness in the other. There's something very lonely in realizing such powerful parallels will never fully connect, though they live and breathe in the same rooms. As children it's easy to forget or ignore that our parents lead lives and made important and often impossible choices before we existed. Some things can never be fully understood, even as the connection strengthens.

I finished Brass with a feeling of relief for the characters, and of excitement. They felt so real, and I can't shake the sense that they're out there now.
