The Mother Who Couldn't Describe a Thing If She Could

Shareen K. Murayama's The Mother Who Couldn't Describe a Thing if She Could explores difficult questions about life in gorgeous, poetic prose. Each piece is a snapshot into the forces that pull and push within families and relationships; the varied shades of hope, loss, and human connection; and the question we all grapple with: "did you live your life right?". Murayama is a master at evoking emotional resonance within a few words. A powerful collection.
