AlbakiReads Editorial

Letters, poems, and the work of remembering

Andy enters her first year of college carrying the loss of Ally, her honorary twin, while navigating new relationships and a fuller understanding of her bisexuality and Indigenous identity. Letters to Ally give the narrative a form shaped by absence; the poems he left behind become another way for Andy to assemble what she knows of his life and death. The novel brings grief, self-discovery, and the unfinished nature of knowing someone close into the same frame, with its central relationship continuing through the words each sibling leaves behind.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about grief and sibling bonds.
  • Readers drawn to fiction told through letters and poems.
  • Readers interested in coming-of-age stories involving bisexuality and Indigenous identity.

Book overview

Dearest Departed, I do not know when I decided I was going to write. I am not a writer. You are. You were.

Honorary twins Ally and Andy, born at the start and end of the same year, have always shared everything -- until Ally dies, his passing ruled a suicide by overdose. A year later, Andy starts her first year at college without her other half, writing letters to Ally as she makes new friends who know nothing about him, falls in love for the first time, and strives to embrace her bisexuality and her Indigenous identity. When Andy discovers the poems Ally hid in their room, she pieces together these remaining fragments to make sense of her brother's life -- and his death.

A story told through letters and poems, The Fragments that Remain is a heart-wrenching and hopeful debut novel from Mackenzie Angeconeb.
