Our Precious Wars

Beschreibung

Literary Hub Notable Small Press Book of 2025<BR>An ode to memory, to home, and to the beauty of the natural world <BR>What remains of the springs, summers, autumns, and winters of a woman's life? <BR>Isadora, now an old woman relegated to a hospice, looks back on her life and how intimately intertwined it was with that of the big, sprawling house where she spent almost her entire existence. <BR>Her memories of childhood and beyond come back to her, season by season: from the games and warmth of Summer and the back-to-school days of Autumn, to the crisp, cold days of Winter--days of loneliness and death--and to Spring's promise of renewal, and of the return to the house that meant so much to her. <BR>Told in lyrical, beguiling language, Isadora guides the reader through the maze of her memory by classifying, like a watercolor painter, her recollections by season.
