A vivacious and mischievous woman, Kat's mother made a morbid joke that would haunt her for years to come: when she died, she'd like to be stuffed and displayed in Kat's future apartment in order to always watch over her.Īfter her mother dies unexpectedly from cancer, Kat, her sisters, and their father are plunged into a debilitating, lonely grief. She worried constantly about her parents dying-especially her mother.
Kat Chow has always been unusually fixated on death. This "graceful, captivating" ( New York Times Book Review) story from a singular new talent paints a portrait of grief and the search for meaning as told through the prism of three generations of her Chinese American family-perfect for readers of Helen Macdonald and Elizabeth Alexander.
