Paperback. Zustand: Good. Catherine, an archivist, has spent decades committed to conserving the pasts of others, only to find her own resurfacing on the eve of her retirement.

Catherine remembers, and in the process, discovers darker family secrets, long silenced, and their devastating aftermath.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Award-winning writer Dora Dueck returns with five masterfully crafted stories about family tensions, misunderstandings, and Mennonite communities. A fourteen-year-old girl sees her soldier father's face for the first time. A group of 'young old' women find community living together in a boxy modern house, until a mystifying event causes them to question what they thought they had. Decades after immigrating from Russia, a Mennonite woman comes to terms with a buried resentment from her past. In these five keenly observed stories, Dora Dueck fully inhabits the worlds of her characters, who encounter grief and misunderstanding but also tenderness and connection. With grace and insight, Like a River Divides the Earth explores the moments that divide us and the ways our lives are indelibly stitched together.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - These graceful, probing personal essays by award-winning fiction writer Dora Dueck engage with a diverse range of ideas (becoming a writer, motherhood, mortality, the ethics of biography, a child's coming-out) because in non-fiction, she writes, ''the quest for meaning bows to the experience as it was.'' Yet within Return Stroke, one theme in particular does resonate--change. ''How wonderful,'' the author writes, that our ''bits of existence, no matter how ordinary, are available for further consideration--seeing patterns, facing into inevitable death, enjoying the playful circularity of then and now.'' The book's title, Return Stroke--the title of one essay, where it literally refers to lightning--suggests such a dynamic: ''When I send inquiry into my past, it sends something back to me.'' The topic of memory, in all its malleability, impermanence, and surprising power, is especially central to the collection's concluding piece, an absorbing memoir of the author's 1980s life in the Paraguayan Chaco. Whether she is discovering the more meaningful part that imagination holds within her religious faith or relating with astonishing clarity and honesty the experience of giving birth away from her home country, Dora Dueck's beautifully written essays and memoir make her an insightful and generous companion.…
