Fiction Family Life
A haunting story of art, ambition, love, and friendship by a
writer of elegant, exacting prose. At the renowned writing
school in Bonneville, every student is simultaneously
terrified of and attracted to the charismatic and mysterious
poet and professor Miranda Sturgis, whose high standards for
art are both intimidating and inspiring. As two students,
Roman and Bernard, strive to win her admiration, the lines
between mentorship, friendship, and love are blurred. Roman's star rises early, and his first book wins a
prestigious prize. Meanwhile, Bernard labors for years over
a single poem. Secrets of the past begin to surface,
friendships are broken, and Miranda continues to cast a
shadow over their lives. What is the hidden burden of early
promise? What are the personal costs of a life devoted to
the pursuit of art? All Is Forgotten, Nothing Is Lost is a
brilliant evocation of the demands of ambition and vocation,
personal loyalty and poetic truth.
