Cricket in a Fist

Edición de la obra Cricket In A Fist

"In this psychologically sophisticated debut novel, Naomi K. Lewis burrows into the inner sanctum of a family whose collective memory is purposefully vanishing." "Agatha and Jasmine Winter, children of a flashy self-help guru who preaches "willing amnesia," seek truth in the tangled strands of past and present. On the anniversary of their mother's accident, they are thrown together in a struggle to break free of the burden of family silence - their grandmother's and great-grandmother's experiences of the Holocaust, their mother's betrayal, and their own secrets, lies, and denials. Yet, enmeshed among the fading filaments, there is hope and possibility." "Told in three major and two minor voices, Cricket in a Fist is a work of precocious mastery, provocative to the core."--Jacket.
