Wave

a Memoir
Jul 27, 2013
Wave is a courageous and difficult memoir that follows the author in the months and years following the tsunami that his Sri Lanka on December 26, 2004. She captures her agonizing desperation as her world fractures and explodes with the loss of her parents, sons, husband and best friend in the disaster. As she remembers the tsunami's terrible aftermath, her words draw us into the waves of her grief, the state of her mind, the confusion, disorientation and rage. The narrative moves slowly and with difficulty through her journey to remember, to grieve, to let go and to heal as she re-discovers the places and people in which her family remains embedded. Wave captures the slow growth of a lost and re-discovered life.
