Warning: this book is written by a woman who lost almost her entire family in the tsunami that struck Southeast Asia in 2004. The book is about her grief and her loss. If that sounds in any way triggering to you, then by all means, don’t read this.
But if you’re one of those people who is looking for a book about grief, about unspeakable tragedy and about someone finding the will to carry on in spite of it, this book will be right up your alley. This book is crushing. It is mammoth. It is powerful and unforgettable. This is a memoir but also a testimony. I’ve never suffered loss on the scale of this writer so I can’t even pretend to imagine how difficult it must have been for her. And she writes so eloquently and openly about her pain, her anguish and her suffering. It’s frank and stark and also a lot to take in. This is one of those books that will sit with you long after it is over. And you’ll find yourself thinking about it for a long while afterwards. It is very good but like I said at the beginning, it may not be the most appropriate book for everyone. Read at your own risk.
