All You Can Ever Know

I really loved this book. The writing is lovely and the “plot” is a page turner. The author is able to sort of take a really complicated thing (her closed, transracial adoption) and honor every part of it and really dig into every corner of the emotions involved for her and others, and leave it complicated but not unresolved. If that makes sense? It's just a great book about identity and expectation and unwalked paths and family and the “origin stories” we tell ourselves.
