A review by laurenexploresbooks
Night of the Radishes by Kenneth Oppel, Sandra Benítez
4.0
Content Warnings: Suicide, Death of a Parent, and Death of a Child.
This work details how trauma and guilt can gnaw at a person and consume them. Annie is struggling. Her mother is dying, her twin passed when they were children, and she hasn’t seen her brother in 20 years. In her quest to find her brother in Oaxaca, Mexico she has an opportunity to find herself and forgive herself. A beautiful telling of a family fractured by loss, but determined to live. I would highly recommend this work
