A lyrical, moving story about the power and importance of memory, Someone Not Really Her Mother follows Hannah Pearl, a woman in her 70s whose memories of her youth in war-torn France and England have started to erase her present life in Connecticut. Hannah’s story is constructed in puzzle-like fashion, as her daughter and granddaughters illuminate her life as it has touched on their own. This novel, composed in seven interlinked stories, is a beautiful tribute to the fact that our lives remain mysterious even as they find shape and value in others’ hearts.
