Reviews

Francieska Boyko ，

An incredibly intimate ethnography exploring themes of family， identity， history， migration， and so much more。 Waterston uses her own father’s life to examine the importance of not only remembering history， but of carrying the lessons it teaches with us。 A reminder of the complexity and diversity of humans， it’s an important and impactful read。
