And Now You Can Go by Vendela Vida

3.0

Vida writes about traumatic experiences with a light touch - she neither overdramatizes them nor does she try to wrap them in a pretty package. Her characters and events are real, and she allows them to be complex: sometimes, in the middle of a crisis, we laugh or do something that's not quite appropriate. It's part of being human, and Vida seems to not only realize this (because really, most of us know this) but accept it and allow it to shape her narrative.
