Reviews


"Navigating Loss in Women's Contemporary Memoir is a fascinating study of a distinctive new sub-genre of the grief memoir. Offering subtle and persuasive readings of canonical and non-canonical books, Amy Katerini-Prodromou affirms the ambiguities of recovery following loss. Her scholarly study makes an important contribution to our understanding of the culture of mourning." - Jeffrey Berman, University at Albany, CUNY, USA
