As a 2nd gen immigrant myself this book did wonders of carrying out the exploration of how it travels in families, of how it affects all of us in such different ways. Especially those like myself whose families have been affected by genocides. An incredible writer at that too, each page a unique pattern of words painted across each page , it read like poetry deep rich and oh so serene.
A must read
