A fractured family story reveals the cost of silence
Good Condition - Ex-library, removed-label damage. Covers rubbed/creased, lower front corner scraped. Page edges toned; text shown unmarked.
Rosemary Cooke was once a talkative child, but as a young woman she has learned to leave much unsaid. Her sister Fern disappeared from her life when they were small, and her older brother Lowell later left too, leaving a family shaped by absences it struggles to explain. As Rosemary looks back, the order in which she tells her story becomes part of understanding what happened and why its consequences have lasted. Karen Joy Fowler combines wit with emotional complexity in a novel about memory, loyalty, and the boundaries people draw around family. We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves gradually reveals the experiences behind Rosemary’s silence, asking how a person can make sense of a childhood whose most important truths have remained difficult to speak.
