The Cut Out Girl: A Story of War and Family, Lost and Found by Bart van Es

5.0

This book was one of the best books I read this year. It was an incredibly compassionate and empathetic journey into the resonance of trauma, the uncertainty of belonging, and the fierceness of love and slow moves of repair. The construction of this nonfiction book is incredibly artful, as it weaves forward and back in time to explore resonance and develop its own forward, page-turning momentum. Absolutely beautiful book.
