Author: Jennifer BriceISBN: 9781597099455Publisher: Boreal BooksYear first published: 06 Nov 2024Pages: 240 Format: HardbackThe pieces in this collection capture the feeling of bei ng buffeted by great gusts of middle-aged longing.What began as one woman's quarrel with Buddhism, especially its doctrine of non-attachment, morphs into a larger question: What's the right way to love a person or a thing? With voluptuous detail and rigorous self-interrogation, Jennifer Brice looks for answers in family lore, personal experience, conversations with friends, and beloved books. The result is a tender, moving, far-reaching-sometimes delightfully funny, sometimes achingly poignant-exploration of the powerful ties that bind us to one another and to the world around us.
