roanfrancis 's review for:
Wave
by Sonali Deraniyagala
This is a very well written memoir about an incredibly sad and tragic event and the author’s years of grief in the aftermath. It reminds me of Joan Didion’s memoirs about the deaths of her husband and daughter (and Sonali Deraniyagala seems to be as rich as Joan Didion too, similarly without mentioning it). This book is a microcosm of the author’s grief. I had to take it in small bits because it’s so wrenching. I don’t know what else to say except that I learned when googling more about Deraniyagala that after the publication of this memoir she meets and falls in love with Fiona Shaw and that’s a nice thing.
