Little Bandaged Days
by Kyra Wilder
Sometimes motherhood can be the most solitary thing ever. Yeah, you have the company of the kiddos, but you sleep in fragmets and days easily blend into one. If you dont have someone adult to talk to, life can easily become a set of to do lists and a blur of inner monologues. And this is what this book talks about. ⠀
⠀
In a form of a monologue, we follow the days in life of a woman in the foreign country raising two little kids while her husband works days and nights. How easily the lack of sleep can make one delusional? Where is the boundary between imagination and reality? What is real and what isnt? ⠀
⠀
So familiar are the daily things the main character goes through, but then again, so scary. Through the whole book you cannot escape the feeling that something will go wrong, and the dreadfulness of it just builds up. Even though you fear turning every page expecting that it all comes tumbling down, you cannot not hope for it to all resolve and end well. But, does it? One can never know. ⠀
⠀
Even though its a short one, it could be shortened even a bit more - I think it would only add to the impact. All in all, a great debut novel I can easily recommend. ⠀
Big thnx to NetGalley and the publisher of an ARC of this ebook.
