The How by Yrsa Daley-Ward
A spare, lyrical novel that follows a young Black woman's search for belonging and identity as she navigates fraught family ties, intimate relationships, and the demands of creativity and care. Interweaving memory, desire, and illness, it traces how choices—to love, to leave, to stay—reshape the self and reckon with inherited trauma, while probing motherhood, sexuality, and the work of healing. The prose blends poetic intensity and candid reflection to illuminate how one learns to live and make meaning amid loss, longing, and resilience.
