A perfect explanation [large print] / by Anstruther, Eleanor,author.(CARDINAL)823470;
"Enid Campbell grew up surrounded by servants, wanting for nothing except love. But when her brother died in the First World War, a new heir was needed, and it was up to Enid to provide it. A troubled marriage and three children soon followed. Broken by postpartum depression, overwhelmed by motherhood and a loveless marriage, Enid made the shocking decision to abandon her family, thereby starting a chain of events that reverberated through the generations. Interweaving one significant day in 1964 with a decade during the interwar period, A Perfect Explanation explores the perils of aristocratic privilege, where inheritance is everything and happiness is hard won."--

The book of explanations / by López Mills, Tedi,1959-Author(DLC)no 94018980 ; Myers, Robin,Translator(DLC)no2015017368;
Includes bibliographical references (page 289).From one of Mexico's premier poets, the award-winning Tedi Lopez Mills, a hybrid, genre-defying book of essays following the unusual and surprising complexities of everyday life. Through thirteen essays, Tedi Lopez Mills explores the minutiae that at first glance go unnoticed. In "Improper Nouns," she explores the history and destiny of an uncomfortable name, asking whether the way we name what surrounds us affects the fabric of its essence. In "How Time Passes, In Consciousness and Outside," one's individual experience of time splits from how it passes outside us. The following essays allude to conscience, pain, private histories, dreams, wisdom, and the most difficult of memories that build one's own identity. Throughout, Lopez Mills traces the trail of her own history, journeying into her own conscience and the mysteries of existence.
