7/4/2023 0 Comments Review transcendent kingdom![]() ![]() She said, “There is no living thing on God’s Earth that doesn’t come to know pain sometime”. ![]() I will share this other quote that Gifty’s mother said. But if you need clues, again, Gifty is me. I hope to one day revisit this blog post and share everything I’m scared to share now. “Not till we are lost, in other words, not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.” There were so many pages and quotes that I tabbed that brought the most emotions out of me. What brought me the most pain was Gifty’s impending fear at the possibility of becoming her mother one day and my gosh that hit me right in my core. It is evident that Gifty so desperately wants to love her mother beyond her mother’s illness and with the responsibility being hers alone makes things even more arduous. Gyasi delivers such a raw depiction of a strained mother-daughter relationship. The most beautiful aspects of this book is what was hardest for me to read: the relationship between Gifty and her mother. ![]()
