“ Aftershocks,” which takes its resonant title from the geological phenomena, spares little in the way of capturing the disorienting atmosphere of an earthquake: the fear of the earth’s sudden. Aftershocks by Nadia Owusu: Owusu’s childhood was marked by a series of departures, as her father, a United Nations official, moved the family from Europe to Africa and back. Her debut memoir is both a personal account of family upheaval and loss—her mother was an inconstant, flickering presence; her father died when Owusu was thirteen. Aftershocks, Nadia Owuso, author; Kathleen Cook and Kathleen Conte, narrators. This is a well written, lyrical memoir that moves back and forth in time as it suits the author’s purpose. This is no ordinary memoir. It is a shattering look at a young woman’s life, once broken, several times over, and while with each crack, she uncovers something about her past, how to hold herself together in the present, always searching for meaning. About who she is, where she belongs. This is Nadia Owusu’s memoir AFTERSHOCKS.
Aftershocks: A Memoir 26.00. Author: Owusu, Nadia. Quantity: Add To Cart. This poetic, genre-bending work—blending memoir with cultural history—from Whiting Award.
