From the novelist and author of We Should All Be Feminists, a timely and deeply personal account of the loss of her father.
What The Reviewers Say
... achingly of its time.
... slim, poignant.
The narrative interrupts itself, brings us up short, as Adichie is brought up short by the realisation that he is gone. This realisation sneaks up on her in sometimes unexpected ways, through the innocent questions of her four-year-old daughter, or through the fact of a death being sent out into the world by text, or in print, and made real.
This small book, intensely personal, is a new exercise in vulnerability.
