Memorial Drive: A Daughter's Memoir by Natasha Trethewey

4.0

---

This is both beautiful and brutal, and the juxtaposition between the two is really powerful. Trethewey is a Pulitzer Prize winning poet, and there is some really lyrical language here. There is also some stark & brutal police reports and transcripts. It's jarring to move from one to the next, but the way this memoir is structured is quite compelling and really sets it apart.
