“sometimes, the expansive nature of family takes my breath away…what is grief but love that’s lost it’s object?”
Oh how I loved this book! At its core, it is a beautiful reflection on rage, womxnhood, the relationships between mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces, and sisters: a story about the resilience of love in the many forms it may take. Will have to go back and highlight all the profound quotes and insights the author lays out throughout the novel—so many jewels of wisdom.
