Exploring the intersections of literature and life, this memoir recounts Kathleen Hill's formative experiences shaped by the novels she encountered in Nigeria, France, and New York. Through poignant reflections on her childhood, teaching, and personal relationships, she grapples with themes of loss, colonialism, and the transformative power of reading. The narrative intertwines her literary influences with her own journey, culminating in a deep friendship with writer Diana Trilling, where the act of reading aloud becomes a profound exploration of life, death, and connection.
