Why read it?
1 author picked Stealing Dad as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved the humor with which Sofka Zinovieff writes about the trauma of the death of her father. Her style is light, often smile provoking, and - even with the subject of grief and death - never in such way that it feels off. The story becomes absurd at times, but somehow you don't doubt it at all. Well written and very enjoyable.
