Between memoir and essay, a daughter's search for her mother becomes an exploration of memory, inheritance, and the impossibility of ever fully knowing those we love.
Blending memoir, personal essay, and literary collage, Among Others is an intimate meditation on mothers, daughters, and the elusive nature of memory. As Adriana Riva revisits her mother's notebooks, belongings, and everyday gestures, she weaves together personal recollections with voices from a rich literary tradition to explore inheritance, identity, and grief. Elegant, intellectually vibrant, and emotionally restrained, this fragmentary work transforms ordinary moments into a universal reflection on family, loss, and the stories we tell to understand those we love most.
