csistek 's review for:
Jade Is a Twisted Green
by Tanya Turton
Thank you to NetGalley and Dundurn Press for giving me an eGalley to review.
A beautiful, spiritual slice of life with culture on wonderful display. How grief is discussed and processed is gentle and kind, and the relationships are all so relatable and realistic. It's obvious that this is a story written with love and care.
I honestly don't think I've ever read something so calmly in my life before--it's such a comforting and comfortable read and experiencing Jade's journey--especially her spiritual experience later in the book--by proxy helped me to understand and process my own emotions. This is a story I think many people can benefit from reading to overcome something difficult in their lives; there's just so much good advice and wisdom in here.
Also I love how Turton describes people and outfits, it's just so fun to read and imagine. I love the use of patois as well. I would definitely recommend this book!
