Did I Ever Tell You
The most astounding memoir of love and loss: a portrait of a mother dying too early, a carefree childhood gone as well, and the foresight of a mother grappling with how to create future moments of connection with her children as they reach ages and milestones she knows she won't witness. ‘Did I Ever Tell You’ is a testament to familial love in all its complexities, and Kingston honors the remarkable gift of an older brother in ways that made my heart sing. I wept multiple times and ached for my mother and the child I will always be, but sometimes forget. I wanted to collectively hug all of humanity because, my God, does it break your heart, and in this book, Genevieve Kingston somehow puts it back together again.
