Hardback. Condizione: Good.

The topic of memory, in all its malleability, impermanence, and surprising power, is especially central to the collection's concluding piece, an absorbing memoir of the author's 1980s life in the Paraguayan Chaco. Whether she is discovering the more meaningful part that imagination holds within her religious faith or relating with astonishing clarity and honesty the experience of giving birth away from her home country, Dora Dueck's beautifully written essays and memoir make her an insightful and generous companion.…
