Aftershocks by Nadia Owusu
5.0
Memoirs are in and of themselves vulnerability vehicles. What Owusu has delivered here raises the bar of self-revealing to capture a deeper and viscerally-stunning account of coping with one’s own history.
For some, this book will feel too weighty and too angsty. I found Aftershocks to be the kind of appropriate, earth-shattering prose that is earned by Owusu and few others, brave enough to explore their identity, even if it means upending truth as they’ve known it.
