In this haunting memoir, Alison Gold gives a luminous account of
key moments in her life that brought her to be the writer she is.
They tell of her early activism; they tell of her descent into
alcoholism; they tell of her recovery; they tell of her discovery
of the power of writing to give a shape and meaning to a life.
Found and Lost is both a tender memorial to the extraordinary
people in her life, and a compelling tale of redemption. Starting
with her childhood experience of running her primary school 'Lost
and Found' depot, Gold develops, though a series of letters, a
meditation on ageing, friendship, loss and the forces that link us
to the dead. In the very act of writing, she begins to find a route
out of depression and grief. Alison Leslie Gold is best known for
her works that have kept alive stories from the time of the
Holocaust, stories of courage and survival - most famously her Anne
Frank Remembered, co-authored with Miep Gies (who risked her life
to protect the Frank family). She has never chosen to write about
her own life or what made her into a gatherer of other people's
stories, until now, in Found and Lost. For she has chosen to go
back to her childhood in order to chart the origin of her need to
save objects, stories, people - including herself - who she has
sensed to be on a road to perdition.
