Fascinating ... Elevates the personal over the political, indeed over every other dynamic. Ms. Schaap’s book offers a warm and generous account of lingering loss and new beginnings, of long defeat and the shimmering possibilities of hope.
Schaap’s prose is characterized by well-crafted, even sublime sentences, erudite literary references and sharp, dark humor ... Vivid ... A patient book, exceptional when Schaap shows us what brings joy to her life after so many years of grief. You’ll find a fortifying dose of grace in these pages.
