Description

A Bay Area Chronicle and NPR Best Book of the Entire Year The writer of the acclaimed memoir The Destruction Catalog results using a collection of tales, each a stirring tale of the inability of knowing it and the ability of love. Spanning generations and continents, from eighteenth century Vienna to modern America, Joan Wickersham exhibits, with uncanny exactitude, how exactly we hardly ever really understand what’s in somebody else’s heart—or within our own.
