Continental Drifter
by Kathy MacLeod
A beautiful volume! I savored reading it, especially appreciating the ways in which Kathy’s memories echo and diverge from my own of growing up between my parents’ cultures & homes.
Kathy’s anxieties about friendship at summer camp, her feelings of being on the periphery of her cousins’ ease among each other, and her sensitivities to her family members’ emotional intensities - they all felt so familiar and evocative of being a tween.
I loved the way MacLeod depicts coastal Maine, particularly bc they were an illustrated window into my own childhood visits to extended family in Christmas Cove and Boothbay Harbor.
This was a delight to read!! My favorite page was the one where Kathy talks about how she may remember a moment while still in the act of being in the midst of it all.
