Dear Senthuran: A Black Spirit Memoir by Akwaeke Emezi

dark emotional hopeful reflective fast-paced

5.0

Absolutely one of the best memoirs I've ever read. Akwaeke Emezi is a true master of writing, and this was such a unique memoir. Each chapter is a letter they've written to someone they know, sometimes it's a friend or family member, other times it's someone no longer in their life. The book mostly focuses on their life leading up to the publishing of their first novel and the depression and disabling health issues they've faced throughout their life. It was just so incredibly good. I highly recommend reading this one on audio because Akwaeke narrates the book and it feels so intimate.
