About this ebook
This is a daughter’s poetic homage to her parents, both elegy and celebration, that explores the transformations wrought by history, biology, and the alchemy of love. In Greek myth, the daughters of Memory were the Muses. Alice Major listens carefully to their voices. “…tender, wise, beautifully cadenced work which embraces the reader on every page.” – Don Domanski
