Titel: Did I Ever Tell You?
Auteur: Genevieve Kingston
ISBN: 9781668006290
Conditie: Beetje gebruikt

Based on her Modern Love piece (She Put her Unspent Love in a Cardboard Box), this extraordinary memoir tells the astonishing story of a mothers last gifts to her daughter, and the wisdom and love she bestowed upon her from beyond the grave.

Genevieve (Gwen) Kingstons mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer when Gwen was just three years old. Defying the odds, she lived another eight yearsduring which time she filled a chest with gifts and letters to Gwen and her brother, Jamie, for every major milestone and birthday through age thirty. The day Gwen got her drivers license. The day she graduated from high school. Gwen is now in her thirties and, when Did I Ever Tell You? begins, three unopened boxes remain: engagement, marriage, and first baby. Two decades after her passing, Gwen's mother's extraordinary efforts created a lifelong conversation beyond the grave.

Did I Ever Tell You? is Crying in H Mart meets The Bright Hour by Nina Riggs. This is not just a gorgeously written mother-daughter story. Its also the story of a family riven by grief and mental illness, and a story of a young womans navigation through both. Its a book about family and legacy; and it's one that emphatically declares, as Gwen mother does in a particularly powerful letter, that Love is stronger than death.
