A review by ambergamgee
A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza

4.0

A slow but aching family story. If you prefer plot based, this is not for you. This book is character based—or really, relationship based. I enjoyed and had my heart broken by how the hardships of childhood drive parenting choices, and the parenting choices can lead to regret anyways. If that makes sense. I’m currently on a journey of discovering how my mothers mothering and my childhood are informing my mothering and my children’s childhoods, so it was heavy and topical for me.
Trigger warnings: miscarriage and opioid abuse (not explicit, but it is there)
