This novel deals with the role of memory in shaping identity ... A middle-aged woman traces her life and lineage in pursuit of a lost childhood self, by way of her ancestral 'memories', back to centuries before. Beginning with memories of her privileged upbringing on a small French island, she takes an interior journey from her writing desk in contemporary Massachusetts, in her mind crossing the ocean between Europe and America as she recounts the years before and after her birth. Along the way, she conjures and chronicles the lives and experiences of assorted relatives, as well as the childhood world of Napoleon Bonaparte, who had lived on the same isle where she was raised. Characters are glimpsed in impressionistic scenes eccentric and haunting, most are like the narrator's distant mother, who hovers at the periphery of her daughter's memories. The conclusion is unexpectedly moving, as the narrator begins to enter the world beyond her study. A rich fictional memoir rife with metaphors and associative juxtapositions, Clewes's bold achievement will engage and delight the serious reader... Jet lag , Annapaola Cancogni ...

Brand new from publisher ... Never opened , Never owned , Never marked ... Jacket protected in New, clear non-stick mylar sleeve ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... 258 pages ... This novel deals with the role of memory in shaping identity ... A middle-aged woman traces her life and lineage in pursuit of a lost childhood self, by way of her ancestral 'memories', back to centuries before. Beginning with memories of her privileged upbringing on a small French island, she takes an interior journey from her writing desk in contemporary Massachusetts, in her mind crossing the ocean between Europe and America as she recounts the years before and after her birth. Along the way, she conjures and chronicles the lives and experiences of assorted relatives, as well as the childhood world of Napoleon Bonaparte, who had lived on the same isle where she was raised. Characters are glimpsed in impressionistic scenes eccentric and haunting, most are like the narrator's distant mother, who hovers at the periphery of her daughter's memories. The conclusion is unexpectedly moving, as the narrator begins to enter the world beyond her study. A rich fictional memoir rife with metaphors and associative juxtapositions, Clewes's bold achievement will engage and delight the serious reader... Jet lag , Annapaola Cancogni ...
