Slow Motion by Dani Shapiro
5.0
Woooahhh. I’m speechless. Shapiro is an exceptionally gifted writer. I’m completely spellbound by her ability to captivate and hold my attention from beginning to end. I should also mention that I listened to this on audiobook which I think is a particular treat- she has a beautiful reading voice, and a memoir that’s read by the author is just a very vulnerable and lovely way to encounter her story.
This is such a powerful memoir about why we make the choices we make, and also grapples with the tragedy and complexity of aging parents who die. How do we navigate the role reversal of that and how do we make sense of our past when it’s cloudy, painful, and confusing?
Excellently done.
