SUMMARY:Anna Nordberg in conversation about her debut When She Was Ours
DESCRIPTION:Thea Erickson\, a renowned surgeon\, is filled with both joy and grief as her family gathers at their home on a summer night in 1995. Her elder daughter Phoebe is getting married\, but even the happiness of the day feels bittersweet\, as Thea grapples with a terminal cancer diagnosis. She worries she won’t be around to support her younger daughter Astra\, who’s still in college\, but even Thea cannot foresee what is to come―a terrible accident the night of the wedding that changes Astra’s life forever. In a last-ditch effort to protect her family\, Thea arranges a secret meeting with an old family friend and extracts a promise that will reverberate long after she’s gone. \nYears after her mother’s death\, Astra has moved forward with a career and relationship\, but she still struggles with her grief. When a man reaches out to her and Phoebe\, offering a window into their mother’s past\, Astra must make a choice\, and her decision forces her to face what it means to love someone after they’re gone\, who we decide to forgive\, and how families reckon with the past. \n\nAnna will be in conversation with Nicola Kraus\, author\, most recently\, of The Best We Could Hope For

SUMMARY:Juana Libedinsky launches her new memoir Downhill: A Memoir of an Accident\, Two Comas\, Many Books and Starting Over
DESCRIPTION:When a devastating skiing accident leaves Conrado\, a young\, successful professional\, in a coma\, it is not only his fate that hangs in the balance. His wife\, Juana\, and their two children have their lives upended overnight. \nJuana\, an Argentine journalist living in New York\, tells the story in the first person\, tracing a journey from the vast stillness of the Patagonian Andes to the fluorescent-lit hospital corridors in Buenos Aires—and\, eventually\, to the relentless pace and demands of Manhattan\, where life does not pause\, even when everything else has. \nAs she navigates the punishing world of coma care\, hospital bureaucracy\, and—perhaps even more bewildering for a foreigner—the peculiarities of the Manhattan private school circuit\, Juana clings to a few anchors: racket sports\, an eclectic cohort of friends and neighbors\, and books. Lots of books. \nDownhill is Juana’s account of a couple of terrible years\, told with the sharp eye of a seasoned reporter and a signature dry humor that surfaces in unexpected places. Woven throughout are reflections on the writers who sustained her through interminable hospital stays and the logistical ropes course of caregiving: Joan Didion on grief\, Jorge Luis Borges on memory\, Abraham Verghese on the orderly nature of tennis. Their voices form a kind of chorus\, grounding Juana as she—and we—are reminded of the transcendental and practical powers of reading.
