Book Review: Where Reasons End: By Yiyun Li

I got this eArc from Netgalley and let's jump to the review because I just don't have anything else to say right now.


Where Reasons End by Yiyun Li


40725064

From GoodReads:
The narrator of Where Reasons End writes, “I had but one delusion, which I held on to with all my willpower: We once gave Nikolai a life of flesh and blood; and I’m doing it over again, this time by words.”

Yiyun Li meets life’s deepest sorrows as she imagines a conversation between a mother and child in a timeless world. Composed in the months after she lost a child to suicide, Where Reasons End trespasses into the space between life and death as mother and child talk, free from old images and narratives. Deeply moving, these conversations portray the love and complexity of a relationship.

Written with originality, precision, and poise, Where Reasons Endis suffused with intimacy, inescapable pain, and fierce love.

I don't have words to describe this book, I knew it was going to be hard reading this book but OMG, once I started reading it was way harder than I thought.  There are no words to describe how I feel after finishing it, my heart was broken reading it, my heart is still broken after finishing it.  I am a mother myself and I can't ever imagine the pain and I don't what to think about it.

I'm just going to give 5 stars and recommend it.

XOXO,

Nelia
