Memorial Drive: A Daughter's Memoir by Natasha Trethewey

5.0

challenging emotional hopeful reflective sad slow-paced

---

This is a memoir of Tretheway's childhood and the domestic abuse and eventual murder of her mother by her stepfather. Tretheway's writing is beautiful. Perfectly rendered. Every word intentional. I listened to the author narrate the audiobook and it was very well done.  This is a hard, achingly difficult and important memoir.
