Reviews
'Wroe operates like a kind of tuning fork . . . She seems to feel the energy that thrums in people, nature and objects . . . Compelling.', 'Lifescapes encourages us to take a deep breath, contemplate life more keenly and acknowledge the miraculous if--and when--we find it.', 'Wroe's writing is intense and visionary, at times almost ecstatic. Reader, dive in . . . Her voice, her writing, already add such consonance, such alert and graceful rapture, to the music of the world.', 'Wroe delivers her perceptive insights into life, death, and the struggle for meaning in luminous prose...spiritually curious readers will be captivated by Wroe's wide-ranging quest to understand what comprises a life.'

Synopsis
"A lyrical, radiant memoir." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review Ann Wroe, obituaries editor for The Economist, reflects on the art and impossibility of capturing life on the page. Through her experiences and through people she has known, studied, or merely glimpsed in windows, she movingly explores what makes a life and how that life lingers after in this breathtaking combination of poetry, memoir, and observation. 'What is life?' asked the poet Shelley, and he could not come up with an answer. Scientists, too, for all their understanding of how life manifests, thrives and evolves, have still not answered that fundamental question. Yet biographers and obituarists continue to corral lives in a few columns, or a few hundred pages, aware all the time how fleeting and elusive their subject is. In this dazzlingly original blend of poetry, biography, observation, and memoir, Wroe explores the experience of trying to capture the essence of a person. Animated by her rare imagination, eye for the telling detail, and the wit, beauty and clarity of her writing, Lifescapes is a luminous, deeply personal answer to Shelley's question., Ann Wroe, obituaries editor for The Economist, reflects on the art and impossibility of capturing life on the page. Through her experiences and through people she has known, studied, or merely glimpsed in windows, she movingly explores what makes a life and how that life lingers after., In a dazzlingly original blend of poetry, biography observation, and memoir, Ann Wroe, obituaries editor of The Economist, explores the experience of trying to capture the essence of a person. She invites readers to muse on the complexities of life with her-from birth to death, from blood to breath. Through the Eves of others and her own, through people she has known intimately, studied intensely, or glimpsed only fleetingly, Wroe explores what makes a life and how lives linger after they're gone. Animated by her rare imagination, eye for telling detail, and the wit, beauty and clarity of her writing, Lifescapes shows us that the goal is not to answer the mystery-laden questions of life but rather to consider them. Wroe, using renowned poets as a guide, offers the work of a lifetime: luminous, visionary, and utterly unique.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
