Summary: An impressive anthology of essays
Review: A Sinner Of Memory is an impressive anthology of essays written by poet and essayist Melita Schuam and arising from her personal life experiences. A woman in her 40s, a traveler, writer, and occasional iconoclast, Melita writes about midlife relationships, concerns about parenting, and the changing meaning of freedom as life experiences accumulate. Melita is a gifted writer whose essays read smoothly, and are diverse as they are mind engaging. Very highly recommended and intelligent reading, the essays comprising A Sinner Of Memory include: Falling Bodies; The Recovery of Things; Grace; The Secret Lives of Fish; Theft and Loss; Home and Away; Preservation: A Story; Epithalamion; and The Weight of Spring Wind.
