The book Detachment
was an intriguing memoir about a couple's journey to the Ukraine to
adopt two sibling brothers and the effects that occur after they return
to Canada. The whole story is really one man's journey figuring out that
the problem was not that he didn't know his father's past, but that he
didn't really understand his own here and now. He had felt like he
disappointed his first Jeremy, and he tried to hide those feeling with
writing. When he adopted his two children from Ukraine, he did the same
when he couldn't handle the stress that came with parenting.
I
really, really, enjoyed this book. It was phenomenal. Actually it was
more than phenomenal; it was a beautiful peace of work that needs to be
shown to the world. The memoir tells an honest story of what adoption is
really about and the struggles behind that most people do not see. I
really enjoyed this book because of the sharing of emotion. Every
feeling was like it was actually happening to me.
In the end, I
was so disappointed that the book was over. The entire time I was
reading it I just couldn't put it down. In all honesty, I thought I
wouldn't like it and I actually requested it because the cover looked
cool but I really did enjoy it. It was a great read and would be
enjoyable for anyone of any age. There are multiple characters to relate
to so the audience is a wide array of pretty much everyone. Young or
old, you will enjoy this book.
