In \u003ci\u003eSplinters, \u003c\/i\u003eJamison turns her unrivaled powers of perception on some of her most intimate relationships: new motherhood, a ruptured marriage, and the shaping legacy of her own parents' complicated bond. In examining what it means for a woman to be many things at once, Jamison juxtaposes the magical and the mundane in surprising ways. The result is a work of nonfiction like no other, a deep reckoning that grieves the departure of one love even as it celebrates the arrival of another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e How do we move forward into joy while haunted by loss? How do we claim hope alongside the harm we've caused? A memoir for which the term \u003ci\u003etour de force\u003c\/i\u003e seems to have been coined, \u003ci\u003e Splinters \u003c\/i\u003eplumbs these questions with writing that is revelatory to the last page, full of the linguistic daring and emotional acuity that made \u003ci\u003eThe Empathy Exams\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Recovering\u003c\/i\u003e instant classics.
