Khong is an extremely intentional and creative writer. The emotion and relatable processing of family tragedy is palpable in this.
The parallelism of memory keeping was extremely well done and very touching. I wish I had connected more, but I feel like that may be my own problem. I, for sure, can see this book hitting hard those who have family with Alzheimer’s/dementia.
This one reminded me of What We Lose by Zinzi Clemons and Catherine Newman’s debut novel - however, I do feel that Khong’s portrait she painted of unconditional love is the superior of the three.
