Nah, was also my reaction when I saw the picture. I am not used to this.

In Germany one has to park in “driving direction”, which usually mans only on the right side (one-way streets coming to mind as an example to be allowed to park on the left side, too)

There is also this interview in the New York Times from a few days back. Links to the podcast can be found within the article if you prefer listening.
I think it shows what you can expect from the book.

I am considering reading the book. But even just reading the interview is so hard. It just feels very raw to hear from her directly.
