Sharon E's Reviews > Places We Left Behind: a memoir-in-miniature

I read this elegant, beautiful and creative memoir in one sitting, and have since returned to it, to savor and ponder and enjoy. This is a a growing up memoir, a discovering oneself tale , a finding home journey, and all along, perhaps most of all, it is a love story, a love story of a resilient, unusual marriage, that traverses many countries and cities. Though I have lived in the same home for over 20 years, I found so many universal insights and epiphanies in Jennifer's unique story. The writing is beautiful as the design of the book, and its short vignettes, slivers of conversation, definitions, charts. What an extraordinary book. I rooted for Jennifer and her husband (you will too!) , and I find myself eagerly wanting to read whatever she writes next.
