"Suzanne
Berne intuits her way into her grandmother’s life, creating a story and
at the same time reminding us that all storytelling involves delicate
piecing together of fact and rich imagination. A beautiful and subtle
piece of writing."
Joan Wickerhsam, author of The Suicide Index
"Suzanne
Berne achieves a nuanced and cunning portrait of the grandmother she
never net. Exacting in her reportage, responsible about the limits o
knowing, she also uses supposition and surmise to great lyric effect.
This is forensics as a gesture of love: a life dreamed forth from the
smalled trove of clues."
Sven Birkerts, author of The Art of Time in Memoir
