Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss by Margaret Renkl

5.0

I absolutely loved this memoir. It made me cry and laugh. It also left me feeling a little empty. Let me explain. The author was fiercely loved. She was close to her immediate and extended family. They were always there for her. And she raised her children the same. I found myself harboring jealousy that I wasn’t raised the same way or had the same experiences. And it’s not that anything extraordinary happened or that they were rich/well-to-do/affluent, etc., but there was just a sense of endless love - no matter the circumstances. Adventure, nature, and love. Of course there were difficult times and people, that’s life, but how the author details her family’s journey is beautiful.
