Only A Book Apart discussion

We were thinking that this second memoir (follow up) was a little bit different than expected. There was more of a recounting of events, but also how that impacted her daily life in Canada. Which is definitely important to examine when thinking about the hardships of integrating into society as it is. However, it definitely felt like almost an ode to discovering the path of writing and telling ones’ story, dealing with critique and in a sense making a public response to it. Which on the positive side we can see that there is still a need to call out story twisting by people in society as well as some of the injustices that still happen within our borders. But overall, we would say that this is definitely a piece about the coming together of the last memoir and although is an interesting read considering we have the background about her, didn’t offer a considerable amount of new knowledge on the state of affairs in different parts of the world.
