Description
Ashland & Vine by John Burnside is a profound and moving novel about an unlikely friendship that transcends time, age, and narrative. In 1999, Kate Lambert invites an elderly woman to participate in an oral-history documentary, but the woman makes her a counter-offer: if Kate can stay sober for four days, she will tell her a story. The story unfolds as a Scheherazade-like matrix of tales, some painful and final, others still unfinished. Jean Culver's account spans decades, from World War II to Vietnam and the Weather Underground, weaving together a heartbreaking narrative that reveals the unexpected grace of listening to another's history while telling one's own. This novel is a poignant exploration of love, grief, and the power of storytelling, as Kate and Jean form an unbreakable bond that defies the limits of time and narrative.
