i didn’t think this book could make me cry in the first 76 pages, however The Daughter touched my soul in such an all-encompassing manner. i literally burst into tears in public and got taken back to being an 11-year-old girl wanting to feel the comfort of my mother’s hug after a bad day.
there is an invisible string that connects each character, one that not only pulls them closer but save them both like a lifeline.
a sentiment that held true in each story:
“Don’t ever forget me until the end of the ages […] Because my love runs deeper than any grudge.”
Graphic: Child abuse, Suicidal thoughts, Terminal illness, Grief, Death of parent, and Abandonment
