Synopsis Novelist Elizabeth McCracken (THE GIANT'S HOUSE, NIAGRA FALLS ALL OVER AGAIN) writes a surprisingly witty and charming memoir about a devastating topic, the stillborn delivery of her firstborn child. McCracken has a knack for wry observation and insight, and she brings these talents to bear on her pregnancy in France, a blissfully happy period brought to a tragic close with the child's death--a tragedy she comes to realize has everything to do with the death of her fantasies about life. The result is a wonderfully written memoir that ranges in tone from whimsical to heartbreaking. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of 2008.
