I was not enchanted by this retelling and forced myself to finish it just so I could reach my yearly reading goal. Felt like a complete waste of time.
I was not enchanted by this retelling and forced myself to finish it just so I could reach my yearly reading goal. Felt like a complete waste of time. Safe to say I won’t be reading any other books in this series.

“Grief is a cruel kind of education. You learn how ungentle mourning can be, how full of anger. You learn how glib condolences can feel. You learn how much grief is about language, the failure of language and the grasping for language.” Written shortly after Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's beloved father died in 2020, and as the COVID-19 pandemic was raging, Adichie describes the bone shattering grief she suffered after the unexpected loss of her father from complications of kidney disease. COVID kept the Nigerian airports shut and kept Adichie and her family members separated from one another as they absorbed this terrible loss and tried to organize a traditional Nigerian funeral, as her father would have liked. Expanding on her original New Yorker piece, this is a short but very affecting read on the nature of loss and the inadequacy of words to convey feelings of sadness, anger and rage at being left behind by a beloved parent.

4.5 stars. Just discovered Etgar Keret this year and he is easily among my favourite authors now. This book is a memoir told in short stories about the seven years between the birth of his son and the death of his father. Told with a light touch and plenty of humour. Highly recommend.
