Episode description
Notes from Honey: Hey Booknerds, we are taking a week’s break but here’s one of our favourites from the TBNT archives and fitting too for March’s #tbntbookchallenge2021 | .. |
Ocean Vuong's raw and visceral debut novel takes you by the throat and doesn't let you go. Admittedly not for everyone, you will still be floored by the emotional truth within. Structured as a letter written by a son to his illiterate mother, this work of auto-fiction blurs the lines between reality and make-believe, you won't really know where Ocean ends and Little Dog (the protagonist) begins and in there lies the beauty of it. Also it's August! So it's break your T.B.R. again and there are so many lovely books to cover...
