The Long Goodbye: A Memoir
by Meghan O'Rourke
A memoir of the long, unsteady aftermath of losing her mother to cancer. O'Rourke, a poet and critic, writes about the slow-burning shape of grief over months and years, the way it returns, shifts, and teaches you who you are without the person you loved.
