I said that I cried and I did. Even though the letters that make it up sort of whirl and the fact that they were written is just about it in terms of writing. The class was bored about it and said so. Nonetheless, I did and that is at least a 4 regardless of whether the writing is capable of holding up what happened.

How do you live once your daughters are dead? 'Every parent's ultimate nightmare is the prospect of something happening to their children. It happened to Genevieve. One night in 1980, her sister-in-law collected her seven- and four-year-old daughters from Paris to drive them to her in-laws. They never got there. Both children were killed in a terrible accident and somehow she has managed to describe the aftermath in this heart-rending collection of letters to a friend. I could hardly see the words of this beautiful, lucid and intelligent book through my tears.' KATE FIGES, Woman's Journal Genevieve Jurgensen took her time, and then wrote down what happened, and how she carried on. Her clear, precise, brief book is an exceptionally moving and powerful testament to the mark a life -- however brief, however infant -- can make on the world. Without ever being sentimental or preachy, this book manages to make you, the reader, for at least a passing instant, miss two lively little girls you never actually met -- and thus you have a sense of what it must be like for Jurgensen, to miss them every waking hour, every day, forever.
