Based in part on the author's mother's handwritten memoirs, this
novel is an act of bricolage in which the narrator keeps finding
gaps in the materials. We desire to regain the past, but every time
we attempt it we fabricate it anew. Through various narrative
voices, the author discovers a different sense of her mother than
she held during her lifetime. This is a type of biographical
revisionism. We cannot know the past, especially that of our
mothers, but we can re-member them. Meticulously researched, this
book constitutes an extended meditation on memory, the strength of
memory and its fallibility.
