Produktinformationen zu „Imogene Hearne: The Anthropologist's Daughter (ePub)“

How do you help someone who is grieving, when you are grieving yourself? After the death of her mother, ten-year-old Imogen Hearne moves from London with her older sister, Rosalind, and her father to Farleigh, a rural village in North Devon where her father's family has deep roots. Her father hides his grief by burying himself in his work at the university, while Rosalind vents her anguish by acting up and running off with friends—leaving Immy to fend for herself. To pass the time, Immy decides to take after her father and become an anthropologist, studying the different ways that people manage grief. As she wanders through the village and the countryside to study the locals, she watches, listens, and makes notes, looking for clues she can use to bring her fractured family back together again. This moving prequel to "The Revolving Year" is a welcome reunion with familiar and much-loved characters and places.

Autoren-Porträt von Vanessa Furse Jackson

Vanessa Furse Jackson is English, coming from a family with deep roots in Devonshire. However, married to Robb Jackson, an Ohio native, she lived in the United States for almost thirty years, the majority of them spent teaching literature and writing at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. A book about her great-grandfather, "The Poetry of Henry Newbolt: Patriotism Is Not Enough," was published in 1994. Her first collection of short stories, "What I Cannot Say to You," came out in 2003. Her second collection, "Small Displacements," was published in 2010 and won the PEN Texas 2011 Southwest Award for Fiction. She also co-authored a book of poems with her husband, Robb, entitled "Crane Creek, Two Voices," which was published in 2011. Her first novel, "The Revolving Year," came out in the fall of 2013. Vanessa returned to England in January 2014, following Robb's unexpected death. She now lives just outside Winchester in Hampshire, where she is currently completing a third collection of stories.
