Book Description: 'Honest, exquisitely measured . . . inspiring in its reminder of the human spirit’s capacity to endure.'—The New York Times Book Review '[An] astute study of family and place.'—Washington Post Book World In this collection of autobiographical essays, Maryse Conde vividly evokes the relationships and events that gave her childhood meaning: discovering her parents’ feelings of alienation; her first crush; a falling out with her best friend; the death of her beloved grandmother; her first encounter with racism. These gemlike vignettes capture the spirit of Conde’s fiction: haunting, powerful, poignant, and leavened with a streak of humor. Maryse Conde’s previous work includes the novels Windward Heights and Desirada, both available from Soho Press. |
