Gifty is in her late twenties and finishing up her final year of a Ph.D program at Stanford University in California when her mother’s priest contacts her and says that her mother is having some mental health struggles again. It is relatively short, coming in under 300 pages and looked like the sort of book I could read in an afternoon. I picked it up on a whim because I’m trying to make sure I read books when I buy them (it’s a work in progress). I bought Yaa Gyasi’s first novel Homegoing last year for Love Your Bookshop Day and I’ve had my eye on this one, her second novel, since before that, even though I haven’t actually read Homegoing yet and I ordered it a month or two ago. I am on a reading roll at the moment, almost everything I pick up has been incredible. Tracing her family’s story through continents and generations will take her deep into the dark heart of modern America. But when her mother comes to stay, Gifty soon learns that the roots of their tangled traumas reach farther than she ever thought. Years later, desperate to understand the opioid addiction that destroyed her brother’s life, she turns to science for answers. When her father and brother succumb to the hard reality of immigrant life in the American South, their family of four becomes two – and the life Gifty dreamed of slips away. Blurb : As a child Gifty would ask her parents to tell the story of their journey from Ghana to Alabama, seeking escape in myths of heroism and romance.

THINGS THAT BOTHERED ME…ġ) (Slight spoiler – Emmie and Brianna ALWAYS have some sort of falling out! Sigh. But I also like being surprised, so I went into this book NOT looking for the twist. And had I been actively trying to figure it out, I might have. I didn’t guess the twist until it happened, but I did notice it. He was old, but had a super good sense of humor!ĥ) And this being an Emmie-book, I knew there would be some tiny little twist. And (Spoiler! I like how Emmie was involved in helping the mom with the idea! End Spoiler.)Ĥ) I loved the rabbi and the cantor. I’ll just say that I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t sure what to expect when the party room is revealed. (Cue: Friend fall-out!) I thought this was an interesting subplot of the book and I liked how it was dealt with at the party.ģ) The mom is super intense! She has all these secret plan for the party after the service. Emmie thinks they’re just playing with Brianna, but Brianna won’t listen to Emmie. The story is told from the “Now” and the “Past Leading up to Now,” which I thought worked well…Ģ) Then there’s the storyline of Brianna’s new friends. Instead of a talent show, her mother has talked her into going through with a bat mitzvah. Why else would I put myself in the spotlight again? WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS BOOK…ġ) I loved being back with the Emmie crew! This is Brianna’s book, and she’s being forced into another public speaking event. How, how, how did I get myself into this TWICE? Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment. Rob Peace (film) Ī film adaptation of Peace's story is currently filming in Newark, New Jersey as of 2023.
