Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Hieroglyphics is a novel that tugs at the deepest places of the human soula beautiful, heart piercing meditation on life and death and the marks we leave on this world. It is the work of a wonderful writer at her finest and most profound.Jessica Shattuck, author of The Women in the CastleA mesmerizing novel about the burden of secrets carried across generations. Lil and Frank married young, launched into courtship when they bonded over how they both suddenly, tragically lost a parent when they were children. Over time, their marriage grew and strengthened, with each still wishing for so much more understanding of the parents theyd lost prematurely. Now, after many years in Boston, theyve retired to North Carolina. There, Lil, determined to leave a history for their children, sifts through letters and notes and diary entries perhaps revealing more secrets than Frank wants their children to know. Meanwhile, Frank has become obsessed with what might have been left behind at the house he lived in as a boy on the outskirts of town, where a young single mother, Shelley, is just trying to raise her son with some sense of normalcy. Franks repeated visits to Shelleys house begin to trigger memories of her own family, memories that shed hoped to keep buried. Because, after all, not all parents are ones you wish to remember.Hieroglyphicsreveals the difficulty of ever really knowing the intentions and dreams and secrets of the people who raised you. In her deeply layered and masterful novel, Jill McCorkle deconstructs and reconstructs what it means to be a father or a mother, and what it means to be a child piecing together the world around us, a child learning to make sense of the hieroglyphics of history and memory. The New York Times bestselling writer Jill McCorkle returns with a moving and wise novel that speaks to all of us in a story about the mysteries of parents: about our universal desire to understand our own and the limitations of ever really knowing their fully story, and the legacy we leave for our children.
