A hauntingly beautiful reflection on the relationship between mothers and daughters, bonded by the ties of intergenerational trauma. Danticat’s writing draws you in and keeps you ensnared—I couldn’t put this book down! Cw for sexual violence, mental illness, self-harm, eating disorder, and fatphobia.
