Oh yay great to see you reviewing a UK book! Weirdly this feels closer for me not just geographically 🙂 It sounds rough but also like an amazing read. Sadly it’s expensive even on kindle here, but I’ll be on the lookout for a library or kindle deal copy!

Oh, intriguing but sounds like a tough read emotionally! Your review really tempts me though. I do love British literature and would love the dual cultural perspectives.

I see that the book is under 200 pages. That’s a good length for books that are dense, I’ve found. If I’m in the mood, I can appreciate a dense style of writing, but also don’t want it to go on for too long. haha,
Anyway, wonderful and thoughtful review. I am noticing that I am not reading a lot of European literature. Would love to read fiction exploring cultural divides in Britain, which I presume are distinct (yet similar) to the American racial and cultural divides.

Great review. SOunds like a good books since you really enjoyed how the author has differentiated between how grief must be shown in diff cultures and diff identities. That is a herculean task for a writer

This book sounds intriguing and heartbreaking. Miscarriages are so hard for everyone involved to deal with when there isn’t any other family drama. I’m adding this to my list!
