An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination by Elizabeth McCracken

5.0

A beautiful memoir about loss, grieving and hope, but without the mushy drippiness one would expect. I only teared up once, when after holding their stillborn baby, her husband says "I didn't know what I was feeling. Then I realized it was seeing someone and knowing immediately that you love him." Reading this is like being privy to to McCracken's diary, moving back and forth through time and place. Moving forward but holding on. I loved it.
