The Diamond Cutter's Daughter: A Poet's Memoir

Elaine Terranova

4.9/5 (33740 ratings)

Description:In a series of short lyrical essays, each jewel-like in itself, Terranova recounts the wonder and difficulty of growing up in a working-class Orthodox Jewish home in the Philadelphia of the 1940s and 1950s. Terranova'a stunningly impressionistic style allows her to capture the voices of her younger selves who struggle with anxiety , self-consciousness, and a quixotic relationship with food. She opens the door on interactions with nearly grown brothers, an often harsh Old World mother, and her first-generation American father who, bewildered by his daughter's love of poetry, nevertheless shared with her a dedication to precision: he with the craft of cutting diamonds, she with the art of writing poems. Terranova's memoir is as much a personal story as it is a recollection of cultural change and her parents' struggle to understand the America of their children.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
