My Grandmother’s Braid is written in a style that seems at turns facetious and tragic; one finds themselves snorting with laughter during the most inappropriate moments. It is a book about complicated characters and families, a book that takes every tragedy seemingly in stride but hides the most important poignant moments in fleeting gestures and phrases. A balancing act that requires your full attention even as you rush through the pages to find out what happens.”
