Rating: 4 out of 5

I’d have liked more. More words, more photos, more opportunities to feel their love. I think I was hoping for something like ‘Insomniac City’ and I guess very few memoirs will ever give me that feeling of emotional intensity and so it is unfair of me to hold this against that. But I did.

Highlighted passage:

Attention without feeling, I began to learn, is only a report. An openness - and empathy - was necessary if the attention was to matter
