The Body Papers: A Memoir by Grace Talusan

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.0

Introspective and incisive, the author of this book invites readers to think again about family, home, and love in rich ways. More than a telling of harm, pain, and trauma, this memoir is a reflection of lives across borders and generations, and of how place shapes beingness. While at times the book seemed to lack a throughline for as a reader, I appreciated the ability to sense-make as I pieced the sometimes disparate sections together.
