Zorrie by Laird Hunt

4.0

---

Zorrie’s life isn’t exciting. It isn’t particularly remarkable in any way. It was like most of our lives. Normal, marked with moments of grief, joy, frustration, and anger. A book like this, about a simple woman just living her imperfect life, always runs the risk of falling flat. But the author did such a beautiful job of telling her story. It flowed gently and pulled you right into Zorrie’s life. It was so utterly normal it could have been any of ours. And maybe that’s why it felt so profound to me. Because if Zorrie’s life was worth telling about, then aren’t all of ours?
