Told with a lyrical, almost-dreamlike voice as intoxicating as the moonflowers and orchids that inhabit this world, Monsoon Mansion is a harrowing yet triumphant coming-of-age memoir exploring the dark, troubled waters of a family’s rise and fall from grace in the Philippines. It would take a young warrior to survive it.Cinelle Barnes was barely three years old when her family moved into Mansion Royale, a stately ten-bedroom home in the Philippines. Filled with her mother’s opulent social aspirations and the gloriously excessive evidence of her father’s self-made success, it was a girl’s storybook playland. But when a monsoon hits, her father leaves, and her mother’s terrible lover takes the reins, Cinelle’s fantastical childhood turns toward tyranny she could never have imagined. Formerly a home worthy of magazines and lavish parties, Mansion Royale becomes a dangerous shell of the splendid palace it had once been.In this remarkable ode to survival, Cinelle creates something magical out of her truth—underscored by her complicated relationship with her mother. Through a tangle of tragedy and betrayal emerges a revelatory journey of perseverance and strength, of grit and beauty, and of coming to terms with the price of family—and what it takes to grow up.

I enjoy memoirs, exploring the world from the comfort of my couch, snuggled in under a warm blanket with a cup of hot tea. The cover art and brief synopsis intrigued me for this book, which was a compelling read.As the story starts, the narrator is young, in the Philippines, a privileged girl in a mansion with servants. Her mother enjoys fine things, name brand clothing, while her father works hard to provide for them and her brother. The text is rich, lush, describing her world well enough that it's jarring to look up and realize you're not actually with her.That compelling narrative continues as the family's fortunes turn gradually, as the cracks in the mortar of a perfect life are exposed. Her mother goes from singing out words to teach a love of language to running away, fine items around them sold off to survive, and the mansion falling into disrepair. Yet the author still searches for whatever she can cling to for happiness, loving her pets as her father and brother leave, thriving on books as her mother turns to an abusive new lover.Without going into any spoilers further than the above, the perseverance and strength shown are both inspiring and sad. Reading this is a mix of sorrow for what this young girl experiences, and cheering her on to thrive. I'm glad for the epilogue of her current life, showing how she has retained the good from her youth while shredding the bad.One of my favorite quotes from the book:"Promise me, you’ll always remember, none of this is normal. But we were not made for normal, and for that, I am sorry, my warrior girl,” Papa said. “Be brave, be smart, be kind, and have faith. Remember that you are made of light.”
