Windward Family: An atlas of love, loss and belonging by Alexis Keir

4.0

'It took two decades for me to go in search of the parts of myself I had left behind in the Caribbean. What ghosts were waiting for me there? There was a thick, black journal in my flat, stuffed with letters, postcards, handwritten notes, and diary entries. For the first time in years, I opened it.'

This was an interesting and refreshing way to write a memoir. It was heartbreaking in parts and achingly beautiful at the same time. I really appreciated learning about others lives that so different from my own. A very interesting read!
