Girl in Pieces
Kathleen Glasgow, 2016
A raw first-person novel about a girl learning to live inside a body and a past that have both been damaged, told with unusual tenderness.
Kathleen Glasgow
Girl in Pieces was Kathleen Glasgow's debut novel and became a New York Times bestseller.
Feels like identity, grief and hope.
Recovery isn’t restoration; it’s learning the shape of the pieces.
Everyone has that moment I think, the moment when something so momentous happens that it rips your very being into small pieces. And then you have to stop. For a long time, you gather your pieces. And it takes such a very long time, not to fit them back together, but to assemble them in a new way, not necessarily a better way. More, a way you can live with until you know for certain that this piece should go there, and that one there. Books by Kathleen Glasgow
