Publisher's Note
This account of a life-saving bond between two estranged sisters offers a "fierce, uncompromising picture of (Flook's) family's painful disintegration . . . a jigsaw picture burned free of bitterness and sentimentality" ("The New York Times").
Industry reviews
"Ms. Flook narrates...painful events with remarkable poise..., discovering a narrative voice that is lyrical without being cloying, authoritative without being blunt....By the end of the book, Ms. Flook has not only left us with a fierce, uncompromising picture of her family's painful disintegration, but she has also managed to fit together the fragments of her past into a jigsaw puzzle picture burned free of bitterness and sentimentality....[A] powerful and disturbing book." New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (01/23/1998) "Flook is a noted fiction writer, and the major weakness in this book is perhaps a conceptual one: the temptation to fictionalize what is already harrowing enough....Flook writes entire chapters in third-person dialogue, complete with details on how things sounded, looked and felt in situations that she does not pretend to have witnessed and that occurred more than three decades ago, and it engenders a certain distrust of the entire text." New York Times Book Review - Courtney Weaver (02/01/1998) "Flook's book should sing with pain, but it's strangely flat, if skillfully written..." Prose "Flook, a poet, nails down the past with a detachment rarely found in a memoir so turbulent." Schultz
