I received a copy of this through NetGalley.
An emotional read right from the beginning, Onyi Nwabineli discusses issues of grief, suicide, and racism without the platitudes often given to these topics. While a difficult read at times I appreciated the honesty she gave to how relentless and surprising grief can be. My favorite parts of the book were how she incorporated aspects of Nigerian culture-food, language, and family dynamics- and her individual relationships with each of her family members.
