Synopsis
A young man named Henry sits down with his grandmother, a genial lady still called Baby by everyone, in her Manhattan townhouse where he has lived all his life, to record the history of a spiritual movement that has woven itself into the fabric of their family's lives for four generations. What unfolds is a mesmerizing family saga:  the imperious great-grandmother Elsa and her husband, an Indian poet, whose marriage is as unconventional as the movement they help to found; Baby, their cheerfully pragmatic daughter, married to the aloof English diplomat Graeme; bemused and brooding Renata, Baby and Graeme's daughter, married to an idle dreamer; and finally Henry, Renata's son, who in many ways bears the legacy of all that has gone before. Their lives--and that of the movement's elusive yet ineluctable founder, known only as the Master--intertwine, diverge, and collide with each other in a masterfully orchestrated story spanning the twentieth century and several continents. By turns brilliantly satiric, insightful, and profoundly moving,Shards Of Memoryis a beautifully wrought tale of love and devotion, of family and faith, and of the complex nature of memory itself--a literary tour de force from one of the most distinguished novelists of our time. From the Trade Paperback edition.

    I had a positive experience with this seller. I did receive an incorrect item in my package, but when I reached out to the seller about the problem, they responded in a timely manner and resolved the issue. Items were packaged in a bag but arrived in good condition as described. I am very happy with the condition of the books I received. Great value. I have already placed additional orders with this seller. Thank you!

    Had issues with product, but seller was exceedingly graceful about the situation. The shipping speed & packaging was excellent. The value of product was expected for price, but description wasn’t quite accurate. With swift communication, the seller maneuvered the conversation in a very controlled way. Very professional! In all honesty, I will have no problem buying again from this seller. Thank you, SecondSalecom! I pray you continue to improve on your already good business practices.

    Nice book. Quality as described. Received only two of the four items I ordered. Upon inquiry the seller apologized and said the missing books were no longer available and had been sold to another buyer at the same time even tho I had paid and received tracking information indicating all four were packaged together. They promptly refunded me. This was an unusual occurrence and I will continue to purchase used books from this seller. Great prices and extensive selections. Xlnt customer service!
