Synopsis

Book by Grumbach Doris

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Astonishes in its honesty. . . . What greater gift can a memoir bring than a self revealed in all its grubby particulars?" 
-Rebecca Pepper Sinkler,  The Washington Post Book World

"A diary of a day that encapsulates the memories, reflections, and yearnings of a lifetime as gracefully as a Fabergé egg captures spring sunlight in its tiny interior." 
- Kirkus Reviews

"For Grumbach, living is an adventure on the magic carpet ride of memory, reverie, and imagination.  Life in a Day affirms the ripples of meaning which can emanate out of simple rituals, happenings, and activities."
-Frederic A. Brussat,  Body Mind Spirit

"[ Life in a Day] illuminates the way memory has woven itself into the fabric of a rich life. . . . To spend a day with [Grumbach] is rewarding." 
-Patricia Roth Schwartz,  Lambda Book Report

"[A] wise and lovely little book." 
-Barbara Holliday,  Detroit Free Press

"This is a profoundly optimistic book: a validation of the strength and the tranquility to be found within the confines of the human mind." 
- Publishers Weekly, starred review
