Susan Tiberghiens poetic memoir evokes a life fully lived and
closely observed. In elegant prose and poetry, she presents the
landscapes of her time with fresh eyes, gentle humor, and a
generous spirit. The rooftops of Grenoble, the hills above Lago
Maggiore, Geneva in its white fog, are the settings for a
French-American romance, an international domestic tale, full of
children and laughter, and at the end a new direction and
revelation. Footsteps, A European Album is a wise book, and a
pleasure to read. Peter Meinke, The Piano Tuner, Zinc FingersIn
this album of wonderfully witty and poignant essays, S.Tiberghien
captures stories from thirty-five years of family life in Europe.
The collection describes a love story and from that matrix a
meditation about many kinds of love. Light and dark days, funny and
momentous ones are celebrated as faith and an energetic capacity
for friendship define the familys cross-cultural path. The pages
fly by and before we know it, the six children have grown. In the
new silence, familiar footsteps insist that she write.
