This was a great collection of stories compiled by authors that are well written and reflective. Anyone that has a good or bad relationship with their mother should read this. It’s not even about mother - child relationships, but the fragile way families can be. It was a great read and may reread in the future.

What My Mother and I Don’t Talk About is a hard-hitting, (sometimes) harrowing set of essays written by a range of authors. I loved the ways in which it was so nuanced; even when some mothers inflicted harm, their children found ways to forgive. I read this with the knowledge that regardless of what pain people can inflict on their loved ones, the bond can still be so strong and well, relentless 😳 I found the essay by Nayomi Munaweera especially challenging 🥲 

All in all, difficult but definitely worth reading 👏🏼
