Thanks Mary! Downsizing, memory, and books: makes for an endless discussion (or essay), doesn’t it? Andrea

Thank you, Terri! Those jewelry boxes are proving to be real memory-holders. I hope you enjoy the book. Andrea

Of course, the other day we missed all the wonderful formatting details when you read it out loud. I really enjoyed the capitalization, the italics, the use of indented lists. I wrote a comment on the website after reading it. It conveys a writer so deeply immersed in words and sentences and books and following the threads that capture your interest (or the interest of one of your characters), that I feel mesmerized and inspired. Brava!

This essay gives me a behind-the-curtain look at how she came to write such elegant sentences chock full of just-right details in What My Last Man Did. Surprisingly, her essay even makes me want to do some downsizing of my own, if only to see what memories and meanings get stirred.

I look forward to reading it! By the way, I used to have a jewelry box like that. It was my aunt’s.
