The Unpassing by Chia-Chia Lin
4.0
-the wilderness is an obvious character - so wild & stark & completely inevitable
-when you are young there is no need to define yourself - in fact you don't even realize how amorphous you are - but this book captures the moments when you start to feel definition closing in on you but also escaping you when you try to grasp it... the worst would be to be defined by things you could not control and deeply regret
-the momentum of each family member - like spiraling arms of a storm, pulling into each other and away at the same time
-very heartbreaking throughout
