My favourite memoir of 2019 is From Scratch by Tembi Locke. The love story of Tembi and Saro is one of passion, commitment, and everlasting love. Not since Paul Kalanithi’s “When Breath Becomes Air” have I been so moved by a book.. Tembi Locke conveys passion and sincerity which is deeply felt on each and every page. It is articulate, vulnerable and full of symbolism. I could not put this book down and highly recommend it.
I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for a fair review which I have provided here.
