Memorial Drive: A Daughter's Memoir by Natasha Trethewey

emotional reflective sad fast-paced

3.0

This was a beautifully written, tragic memoir. Although, I feel most of the story was spent providing context and giving background on her childhood rather than Trethewey fully exploring the effects these events had on her and how it shaped who she is now - which is what I was expecting after reading the summary. It kind of felt like she was still trying to figure those things out as she was writing but ended up rushing the end and not fully sharing her thoughts with the reader. Again, beautifully written, but I was expecting a bit more.
