Wenn jemand verschwindet, was bleibt von dieser Person? Das ist das Leitthema dieser Geschichte. Aus der Sicht von 3 bzw 4 Personen wird die Geschichte einer Frau erzählt. Sie hat mit 17 geheiratet und mit 19 das erste Kind bekommen. Eine Frau die nicht lesen konnte und trotzdem alles in die Wege geleitet hat um ihren 4 Kindern ein besseres Leben zu ermöglichen. Der Ehemann untreu und gerne auf Abwegen, bemerkt erst spät was sie alles auch für ihn getan hat. Dieses Buch ist von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite ein einziges Tränenmeer. Gerade das letzte Kapitel liess nur so die Flüssigkeit aus den Augen tropfen.
“Mother doesn’t smile. She doesn’t cry. Did Mother know? That I, too, needed her my entire life?” I saw someone else describe this book and unforgettable and I think I can only agree. I read this book throughout an entire day and it made me experience all sort of emotions as I did. Most importantly, it made me question my own view of motherhood and how I need to reflect on my relationships regarding my mother, but also the vast relationships I have in general. Apart from that, I thoroughly enjoyed the different povs and the way the author went about delaying those to us. Would definitely recommend it to anyone that’s willing to take their time and immerse themselves in the story of this family and how one event altered the view on their lives forever.
