Very different to Like Water…it’s a fictionalised version of her parents story, so there is some magic and some great characterisation. But it is also very reflective and deeply personal to the author, so not so many universal take aways. Still a good read/interesting read!
Graphic: Sexual harassment
Moderate: Child death, Rape, and Death of parent
