About this listen
Losing a father isn't easy. Neither is the split existence you live afterwards when you can still conjure up the past where he was alive and yet have to live in the present where he is not. Grief is universal and eternal, yet how we deal with it - or how it deals with us - depends on who is grieving, when, and with whom.
On the outside, the protagonist of this stylish debut novel seems to have it all together, but the grief of the loss of her father causes her to live a divided existence, constructing a barrier between between the day-to-day reality of what she's experiencing with people her age and a feeling of estrangement, grief, and need.
The world these characters inhabit - rent is nuts, nobody is getting younger, and everyone remains unsatisfied, always wanting something more - the emotions they struggle to understand (and even feel), their ambivalence and confusion about the future, work, the political issues of the day, relationships, and more all weave together to create the background for a poignant story about loss.
