RAHNA REIKO RIZZUTO

10/21/2010 7:00 pm
Readers who were moved, like us, by Rahna Reiko Rizzuto's debut novel of a decade ago, Why She Left Us, will be glad to know that the wait for new work from this talented Brooklyn-based writer is finally over. Her memoir, Hiroshima in the Morning (Feminist Press), begins with a solo trip to research the memories of atomic bomb survivors and gradually becomes a haunting meditation on motherhood, identity, memory, and history. "This searing and redemptive memoir is an explosive account of motherhood reconstructed. Pulling from the wreckage of two wars, as well as the loss of her own mother to Alzheimer's, Rahna Reiko Rizzuto recasts her identity as a mother and a daughter, and finds a truer connection to her family." - Ayelet Waldman.
