          <body><![CDATA[Poignant and unforgettable, this memoir of a valiant little girl who experiences the death of her eccentric and dearly loved mother, settles in the heart. Utterly alone when her mother dies, Lily becomes the recipient of her two bachelor uncles' bewildered support and love, later joined by her equally unusual grandmother. The uncles put their lives on hold, move in with Lily, and guided only by love, succeed in surrounding her with the stability, ballast and emotional warmth that enable a precocious intelligent little girl to navigate the complicated byways that lead her into adulthood. This memoir is sad, funny and deeply memorable. A celebration of independence and the power of family and love, it is an unusual and worthwhile read.]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[Because my own memoir of growing up in Egypt, SIPPING FROM THE NILE seems at first glance to reference parallel worlds, I opened these pages with some concern that Joyce Zonana and I might have covered the same ground.
