Thank you! 🙂
It’s really the sort of book to keep and re-read every few years.

I think I’ll have to reread them at some point- wonderful review!

True that. I read that eons ago and that was exactly how I felt. Anger. But then again, one would never know how we would really react until we are in the situation…

I would’ve got angry, if I was the kind of person I am today, but if I had been conditioned by my culture to always respect parents’ behaviour, no matter what they are doing, then I guess it would be different 🙂

Thank you Jee – and extra thanks 😉
It’s a great cover isn’t it? Such a good book, yes it was like therapy for her I think. It was so sad though. She was so patient and respectful too, never got angry 🙂

I’m so so glad you enjoyed this too! I agree with the part where you mentioned about peace. It’s almost like she wrote and let go of what she had held on for so long and finally comes to terms with it. I like the cover of this version!
