A tragic, empowering, and brutally honest work of autofiction, Broken Pieces by Natalie Monique Rich recounts the emotionally charged story of the author’s hopes, homes, and heartbreaks. Condensing decades of life into a compelling novella, Rich recalls the rise and fall of her marriage, hard lessons learned about motherhood, the unique grief of betrayal, and the disappointing realities of an unpredictable life. Every page is dense with detail, but the prose occasionally feels rushed, and the relentless flow of loss and struggle leaves little room for readers to process the emotional peaks and valleys. Nonetheless, this powerful and relatable story is a truly striking tale of resilience.
