Yiyun Li meets life’s deepest sorrows as she imagines a
conversation between a mother and child in a timeless world. Composed in
the months after she lost a child to suicide, Where Reasons End
trespasses into the space between life and death as mother and child
talk, free from old images and narratives. Deeply moving, these
conversations portray the love and complexity of a relationship.
Written with originality, precision, and poise, Where Reasons End is suffused with intimacy, inescapable pain, and fierce love.
