It's an amazing montage for when they make your life into a movie.
All right.
I'm a little nervous to admit how much I like this book because the premise is horrifying.
This is Nebraska by Monica Datta.
This is a wild book.
I think has been like 20 years in the making.
If you look it up, you'll see that it's compared to The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen and The Loneliness of Sonia and Sonny.
It's insane, so don't listen to that because if you go in expecting it to be like either of those books, you're going to be kind of disappointed or just baffled.
So this is the story of the Chatterjee family.
The book opens when father meets the adult children at the prison where the mother has been incarcerated for years.
It's on what they think is her parole date, right?
Obviously, they haven't kept in great touch while she's been locked up.
And so they go, they've like had it written down in their date book, like mom paroled today.
And so they get there and it turns out she's long gone and they won't tell her family where she's gone.
Incredible hook, right?
I mean, incredible hook.
Okay.
Now, the reason that she was incarcerated was because she killed her youngest child who had profound disabilities.
There's a lot going on here.
