Reviews

There are only two facts, birth and death, and in between some necessary fictions.” In the case of the Gerhardt family, the once-functional fictions are fraying, unraveling into a painful tangle of self-healing truths. And the sense of relief spills over to the reader, who shares the catharsis.^[2]
