Welcome to Litsy!

This is a beautifully written book based on a true story. A husband and wife decide to separate and seemingly have an amicable visitation schedule with their 6 year old twins. However, after one particular visit, the husband commits suicide and the children are never seen ago. The book creatively describes the ways in which the wife struggles to find her children and how she manages (or doesn‘t) to live with the grief.

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.

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
