AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Shimmer spans the last thirteen days of one woman's life. An exquisitely written account of how one family came to terms with their mother's death, Shimmer is also a celebration of life and the relationship between a mother and her children.' (Publisher's blurb)

Notes

  • Dedication: For my brothers-in-arms, by bookends, Janusz and Edward...and our parents.
  • Epigraph: 'To share Basia's journey, which is so full of pain and richness, is a humbling privlige. The landscape of her mother's life, both in Europe during the War and in her adopted South Australia, is revisited with intense love and the guilt that all of up feel when we face a future of not being able to redress the past or transform the present. The strength of family is a pure thread that weaves through this moving narrative from daughter, sister and monther.' -Margaret Pomeranz
