{"product_id":"seeing-ghosts-a-memoir","title":"Seeing Ghosts: A Memoir","description":"\u003cb\u003eFor readers of Helen Macdonald and Elizabeth Alexander, an intimate and haunting portrait of grief and the search for meaning from a singular new talent as told through the prism of three generations of her Chinese American family.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKat Chow has always been unusually fixated on death. She worried constantly about her parents dying---especially her mother. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter her mother dies unexpectedly from cancer, Kat, her sisters, and their father are plunged into a debilitating, lonely grief. With a distinct voice that is wry and heartfelt, Kat weaves together a story of the fallout of grief that follows her extended family as they emigrate from China and Hong Kong to Cuba and America. \u003ci\u003eSeeing Ghosts\u003c\/i\u003e asks what it means to reclaim and tell your family's story: Is writing an exorcism or is it its own form of preservation? The result is an extraordinary new contribution to the literature of the American family, and a provocative and transformative meditation on who we become facing loss.","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39328079708260,"sku":"9781538716328","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/seeing-ghosts-a-memoir","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
