A Magpie and an Envelope

Más información sobre el libro

"A contemplative and lyrical memoir of early childhood, inheritance and loss. Carol Mavor blends encounters with the works of Piero della Francesca and Brueghel, Goya and Mann, alongside a synesthetic immersion in pre-linguistic memory. It is a scholarly and intimate look at grief and reparation, imagination and forgiveness, told by one of the most interesting and genre-defying essayists."--back cover
