Best Book of January:
I Know This Much is True – Wally Lamb
I know this much is true, by Wally Lamb is a gripping emotional tale about what it is like to the be “the spared one”. The tale is a beautiful blend of guilt, shame, anger, mystery, and misery. What does it mean to be the one who ‘lives’? Am I not my brothers keeper?
Despite it’s heft, I guarantee that once you start this tome begins to feel as light as a beach read, and becomes unputdownable. 10/10 definite recommend, especially for those who have ever had or been the sick/troubled relative.
