What the Break Remembers

"A lyric, unforgettable novel about a woman who learns that some things aren't repaired to hide what happened to them — they're repaired to prove they survived it. When her six-year relationship ends the same week she drops her grandmother's ceramic bowl, she can't bring herself to throw either one away. What follows is a quiet, luminous account of grief, inheritance, and the ancient art of kintsugi — mending broken pottery with gold — as she slowly learns to repair her own fractured relationships with her mother, her estranged father, and herself."
