Reseña del editor:
“I Know You by Heart” takes an extended familythrough the death of its matriarch and then through the formalities of themourning period. Readers, no doubt, know from experience, that no mourningperiod for anyone, or any family is like any other. All members of theFielding family have unfinished business, hidden scandals, fearful secrets thatcreate unwitting behavior. Each character provides harsh, but horribly trueinformation, revealed for the first time.In “I Know You by Heart,” all of these elements float about uncontrolled,and the family runs amok. The characters in “I Know You by Heart,”expect their reasonably responsible family members to behave in traditionalways, but the truth is, the Fielding family faces this crisis in the mostirrational ways possible.From moments before the funeral, until after the formal grieving processis over, they begrudge, punish and some even learn to love again, over time.
