Hardback. Condizione: Good. In this arresting first novel from Harriet Scott Chessman, Hallie Greaves comes home to Ohio one hot week in July hoping to help her mother, who confines her life wholly to her bedroom. To enter her mother's room, however, is to come face to face with Hallie's own disappointments and yearnings. At an impasse in her painting and in her marriage, Hallie confronts questions of love, memory, sorrow, and infertility. Rose, Hallie's girlhood friend, who has abandoned her literary gifts to nurture her children and her husband's career, further tugs Hallie into a reexamination of the life she has chosen.

In the face of shattering difficulties, this shared story offers surprising possibilities for humor, compassion, and renewal.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. As Hannah Pearl's memories of her 1940 escape to England from war-torn France come to the foreground of her consciousness, her memory of her more recent American life, including her relationships with her daughter and granddaughters, is almost erased. Her daughter, Miranda, attempts to bring her mother into the present and the daily activities of family life, yet finds herself instead pulled into Hannah's unresolved past. Miranda's daughters confront the shadows of history in their own ways. Fiona, content with her life as a new mother, tries to ignore the ghostly presence of Hannah's family who perished in the war, while Ida clings to Hannah's revelations as if they form a lifeline. Facing the mystery of Hannah's unspoken memories, each woman must ask how well anyone can know the inner life of another person. …
