About this title

Review:

"Heartbreaking, without pretense of self-pity . . . Shows others whose grief seems overwhelming and unmanageable how to follow her out of the dark wood."
Rosellen Brown, author of Before and After

"Beautifully written . . . ccombining sober self-scrutiny with vivid evocations of emotions and people. Andcould the word be freed from its generally saccharine connotationsLandscape without Gravity might even be called 'inspirational.'"
The Advocate

"Lyrical and moving"
The Washington Post Book World

"Like most worthwhile literature and art, Landscape without Gravity is a way of connecting with the human heart. . . . by cutting to the core of her own experience, Ascher has written a book about loss that is at once completely personal and universal. Her honesty touches the reader's heart, opens the scars of old wounds, and helps to heal them. . . . Wrenching . . . insightful . . . compelling."
The Boston Globe
