The Dream of Water: A Memoir by Kyoko Mori

5.0

For those who have grown up under manipulative and toxic family, this book “hits home”. Mori is well-articulated and clearly depicts how much of our world and culture is understood by listening to authority figures like our parents. The parental roles, sometimes, play a stronger and more salient role in understanding our world than the subtle pervasiveness of culture. Maybe home is less about where it is, and more about where it is not.
