A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE
BOOK
In this exquisite book of personal
reflections on a woman’s life as a child, wife, and mother, Kathryn
Harrison, “a writer of extraordinary gifts” (Tobias Wolff), recalls
episodes in her life, exploring how the experiences of childhood
recur in memory, to be transformed and sometimes healed through the
lives we lead as adults. At the heart of Seeking Rapture is
the notion that a woman’s journey is a continuous process of
transformation, an ongoing transcendence and re-creation of
self.
