PARTITA-a novel in linked short stories
Hospitalized and treated for depression after the birth of Lil, her second daughter, concert pianist Elizabeth Hannaford dies in 1969.
Determined to fulfill her promise to her mother to take care of Lil, elder daughter Grace struggles, longing for the day she will be free to follow her own path.
Grace marries and moves to Rhode Island, where she and her husband raise their children, Dana, Tom, and Ben. Lil, a freelance travel writer, lives in San Francisco. During visits with Grace and her family, she develops close bonds with her niece and nephews.
Through their themes, the memories they disclose, and their dramatic focus, the linked stories that comprise Partita weave a vivid narrative of growth and healing, from tragedy and recrimination to forgiveness and reconciliation.
