She worried constantly about her parents dying---especially her mother. A vivacious and mischievous woman, Kat's mother made a morbid joke that would haunt her for years to come: when she died, she'd like to be stuffed and displayed in Kat's future apartment in order to always watch over her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After her mother dies unexpectedly from cancer, Kat, her sisters, and their father are plunged into a debilitating, lonely grief. With a distinct voice that is wry and heartfelt, Kat weaves together a story of the fallout of grief that follows her extended family as they emigrate from China and Hong Kong to Cuba and America. \u003ci\u003eSeeing Ghosts\u003c\/i\u003e asks what it means to reclaim and tell your family's story: Is writing an exorcism or is it its own form of preservation? The result is an extraordinary new contribution to the literature of the American family, and a provocative and transformative meditation on who we become facing loss. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e AN NPR BOOKS WE LOVE 2021 PICK * A \u003ci\u003eTIME\u003c\/i\u003e MUST-READ BOOK OF 2021 PICK * A \u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003eNOTABLE BOOK OF 2021 * A \u003ci\u003eHARPER'S BAZAAR\u003c\/i\u003e BOOK YOU NEED TO READ IN 2021 * A\u003ci\u003e TOWN \u0026amp; COUNTRY\u003c\/i\u003eBEST BOOK OF 2021 PICK * A \u003ci\u003eFORTUNE\u003c\/i\u003e BEST BOOK OF 2021 PICK\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Seeing Ghosts: A Memoir | Kat Chow | Hardcover | 9781538716328 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks C 1780167","offer_id":49947775271064,"sku":"1780167","price":12.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91PSIhANhFL.jpg?v=1789781471","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/seeing-ghosts-a-memoir","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
