Description
Where Reasons End by Yiyun Li is a profoundly moving novel that explores the complexities of parenthood and grief. When her teenage son takes his own life, a writer struggles to comprehend her emotions in the only way she knows best: through writing.
The result is an extraordinary portrait of parenthood, full of painful contradictions of joy, humour, and sorrow. As she attempts to make sense of her loss, Li's protagonist engages in an imagined conversation with her child, who speaks back to her with his characteristic sharpness and wit.
This heart-wrenching novel is both a devastating read and a tender one, filled with love, complexity, and a desire for understanding. It captures the affections and complexity of parenthood in a way that has never been portrayed before, radiating unthinkable pain and profound love.
