"Wave" by Sonali Deraniyagala is a profoundly moving memoir that chronicles the author's heart-wrenching loss of her family—her husband, sons, and parents—to the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Captured with raw honesty, Deraniyagala guides us through her harrowing journey of grief and survival, as she grapples with the unfathomable reality of her loss. Over time, she confronts her pain, revisiting the memories of her loved ones, and begins to embrace the past that both haunts and comforts her. This story is not just about the terror of that day but also about the struggle to hold onto a sense of family and self in the aftermath. "Wave" is a testament to human resilience, showing how even the deepest sorrow can reveal moments of beauty and how, even when waves erase everything, the traces left behind endure.
