This intrepid memoir tracks sexual abuse in the life of a veteran American journalist. It also describes the long and successful psychotherapy the author undertook to heal. The Long Half-Lives of Love and Trauma "invents its own genre," wrote Sherry Turkle. "The author suspects sexual abuse in her childhood and investigates with the toolkits of an historian and ethnographer." The result is a memoir that is what Eva Hoffman calls, "a true labor of memory, in which the story of the body is inseparable from the narrative of the self."This memoir is the third of a non-fiction trilogy, following Helen Epstein's Children of the Holocaust: Conversations with Sons and Daughters of Survivors (Putnam, 1979) and Where She Came From: A Daughter's Search for Her Mother's History (Little, Brown, 1997), both widely translated.
