pickThis memoir really got me. I think it's because I know that I at some point have to deal with loosing my mother and it might be that this book helped me preparing for it. But I also learned a lot about Chinese traditions and about live as an immigrant in the US. Kat Chow shows us how deep grief can go, that some feelings, even though untold, run from generation to generation, and that we all deal with loss in our very own ways.
The author is speaking of her mother‘s death. This memoir is stunning in its beauty, & its exploration of grief & memory. #literatibookclub #wildreads #cherylstrayed #memoir

From Seeing Ghosts, a memoir by Kate Chow
#thinkpositivebepositive
Alongside Crying in H Mart, I‘ve anticipated this new release all year, and I am so grateful Kat Chow had the courage to tell her own story of losing and grieving her mother. I appreciate Chow‘s vulnerability in sharing her family‘s struggles to talk about their grief, to honor her mother in the ways she would have wanted, and to invoke her mother‘s unique sense of humor when they needed to find light in dark places.🔸#novemberreads2021
Seems like a pretty slow book month for October but I‘m sure some randos will find their way onto my list….
pickKat suddenly lost her mother at 14 and has an awkward relationship with her father. This is the story of her, her sisters, and their father moving forward from that loss. There are also the stories of her grandparents deaths and her family‘s immigration story. Her father‘s father was a coolie sent to Cuba to work sugarcane fields. I had never thought about Chinese laborers being brought to Cuba. ⬇️
