That one day, may not offer 'the pleasure of a daughter's company, but only that of a warm hand.'\u003cbr\u003eEach poem reveals the intimacy of this mother-daughter relationship, thrusting the reader into their dialogue and communication. At the end of each poem is a quote from Gammon's mother, often eerily insightful, reflecting her own youthful ambition to write: 'I am still clinging to the vine' and 'I find forgetting easy.'\u003cbr\u003eKind, often funny, and always honest, this collection is for anyone who has loved someone who is beginning to forget; has forgotten; but will not be forgotten.\u003cbr\u003eThese words offer an archive; a testament to the memory that lives in books-and a reminder that memory loss is not an insurmountable barrier to living a good life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neu","offer_id":54028986810706,"sku":"9781550179651","price":16.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_721bf5a8-da53-453c-ab82-4fbe09a2124a.jpg?v=1784318894","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/on-her-own-terms","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
