SUMMARY:She Writes Press: Grinell\, Giammatteo\, Simpson\, + Rea
DESCRIPTION:In Appetite\,  twenty-five-year-old Jenn Adler brings home a guru from Bangalore with a plan to marry him\, forcing her parents to come to grips with the impending marriage—and its effect on their own. \nBorn in a taxi in Manhattan\, Sheila Grinell studied at the Bronx High School of Science\, Harvard University\, and the University of California\, Berkeley. Towards the end of her forty-year career as a creator of science museums\, she began to write fiction. \nWhen Hollis Giammatteo sought a job working with the elderly\, she did so with the intention of finding models of healthy aging. And she failed. In The Shelf Life of Ashes\, Giammatteo chronicles her experiences with her wards\, as well as the trip she embarks upon when her mother\, who is convinced she is dying\, entreats her to come “home.” Trips back\, traumas triggered\, identity in crisis\, equanimity gained—this quasi-comic\, concentrated journey engages the reader in the process of naming and facing the tasks involved in growing old\, while asking a simple but weighted question: Can aging be done well? \nWhen a life-threatening illness makes it necessary for Virginia A. Simpson’s mother\, Ruth\, to come live with her\, Simpson struggles to heal their relationship before Ruth dies. Touching and vividly human\, The Space Between reminds us all that without accepting the inevitability of death and looking ahead to it with clarity\, life cannot be fully lived. \nConjuring Casanova follows ER physician Elizabeth Hillman. She’s been hurt by the men in her life far too often\, which is why she spends her free time safely alone\, reading the memoir of Giacomo Casanova\, history’s most famous libertine. But when a child in Lizzy’s care dies\, she flees to Venice\, Italy for a much-needed break. It’s there\, on a lovely rooftop\, Casanova appears beside her. \nMelissa Rea has degrees in psychology and French literature\, and is an amateur Casinovist.
