The lyrically written true story of a woman whose husband leaves with their two daughters, six years old twins. He commits suicide a few days later, the girls have never been found.
It‘s the worst, and I feel for the mother. Yet the book was hard to concentrate on, so many different styles and narrators. A light pick.

sarahbarnes Sounds like it could be really good, too bad the writing didn‘t quite work. 3mo
Suet624 Hmm. This post reminds me I purchased this one recently. 3mo

This is sold as a novel, but is based on a true story, and the author‘s interviews with, a woman whose husband (while separated) did not return her twin daughters at the end of his parenting time, committed suicide and the children were never found. It is gut wrenching and harrowing yet absolutely gorgeous as it explores loss and memory and how one can still love and wish to live in the face of devastation. #europacollective
