The New York Times called Susanna Sonnenberg
“immensely gifted,” and Vogue, “scrupulously
unsentimental.” Entertainment Weekly described
Sonnenberg’s Her Last Death as “a bracing memoir
about growing up rich and glamorous with a savagely
inappropriate mother.” Now, Sonnenberg, with her unflinching
eye and uncanny wisdom, has written a compulsively readable
book about female friendship. T he best friend who broke
up with you. The older girl at school you worshipped. The
beloved college friend who changed. The friend you slept
with. The friend who betrayed you. The friend you betrayed.
Companions in travel, in discovery, in motherhood, in grief;
the mentor, the model, the rescuer, the guide, the little
sister. These have been the women in Susanna Sonnenberg’s
life, friends tender, dominant, and crucial after her
reckless mother gave her early lessons in womanhood.
Searing and superbly written, Sonnenberg’s She
Matters: A Life in Friendships illuminates the
friendships that have influenced, nourished, inspired, and
haunted her—and sometimes torn her apart. Each has its own
lessons that Sonnenberg seeks to understand. Her method is
investigative and ruminative; her result, fearlessly
observed portraits of friendships that will inspire all
readers to consider the complexities of their own
relationships. This electric book is testimony to the
emotional significance of the intense bonds between women,
whether shattered, shaky, or unbreakable.
