sunlithorizon 's review for:

Wave by Sonali Deraniyagala

3.0

3.5 stars. I really need to start reading some less depressing books. The memoir of a woman who lost her husband, children, and parents to the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004. While tremendously sad, it is beautifully told and her story articulates grief and eventual acceptance in a way I haven't encountered before. Even to those who haven't experienced such profound grief, her journey is powerful and instructive.
