alisarae 's review for:


My first Maggie Nelson book; I am intrigued and would read more.

This book is about her experience sitting through the trial of the man who killed her aunt Jane, an aunt she had never met, decades earlier. But that is only a premise for the book: it is much more about Maggie's life, her gaze, and her complicated relationships with her family.

I liked listening to her meandering and lyrical reflections, it is like reading a beautiful diary. Cassandra Campbell's voicework was great as always, too.
