Must I Go by Yiyun Li (Penguin Books)

Intimate, kind of epistolary novel. 

Lilia, 81, finds a little diary from a man she knew and had an affair in her past. She starts to annotate the diary with her perception of events. Secrets, loss, joys and everything in between slowly reveal itself.

Ode to life. So well written, joy to read!
