The Long Goodbye: A Memoir
by Meghan O'Rourke
by Meghan O'Rourke
I read Meghan O'Rourke's Story's End today.
It is a poignant 3 page memoir of coming to terms with her mother's death. It contains one of the most sincere descriptions of a daughter's understanding of her mother that I've ever read: A mother is a story with no beginning. That is what defines her.. What a wonderful turn of phrase to use to describe the ineffable way that knowing our mother's beginnings (her time before us) slips a way as soon as we think we might be pinning it down!
I will be looking forward to The Long Goodbye.
