"Burroway... is a pithy essayist with an inner compass that steers her to the ambiguity at the heart of the human condition.... [s]he celebrates all vicissitudes of womanhood with pride and drollery." - Booklist; "Burroway proves herself a heavyweight champion of intellect and spirit in these essays....[E]ntertaining, delicious, beautifully written." - Tallahassee Democrat; "Why do we care about janet Burroway's trials and journeys, so very like our own? Because her voice pulls us along, because the work is rich in its detail and seems so honest. There is no showboat here, no Mary Karr dazzling us, playing for the laugh or the gasp. This is the pure, pure, thing." - Fourth Genre; "These gathered-together autobiographical essays reveal a fascinating, honest, witty writer I thought I had known (briefly) thirty years ago. I am delighted to discover, in this charming memoir, that I was woefully ignorant of her extraordinary life. Now I feel privileged to learn of it in such an elegantly written fashion." - Doris Grumbach"
In sixteen essays of wit, rage, and reconciliation, Embalming Mom chronicles loss and renaissance in a life that reaches from Florida to Arizona across to England and home again. Burroway brilliantly weaves her way through the dangers of daily life - divorcing her first husband, raising two boys, establishing a new life, scattering her mother's ashes, and sorting the meager possessions of her father. Each new danger and challenge highlights the tenacious will of the body and spirit to heal.
