Sandell Morse's nonfiction has been noted in The Best American Essays series, been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and won the Fourth Genre Steinberg Essay Prize.
The Spiral Shell is an evocative, probing, heartfelt memoir, as rich in character and detail as the best fiction. There are all kinds of reckonings here: personal, historical, spiritual. There is a vivid present as well as a vividly imagined past, a voice that is at turns charming, grieving, outraged and wry. Sandell Morse illuminates with wisdom and grace Eli Wiesel's timeless injunction that, 'For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.' Alice McDermott , Author, A Bigamist's Daughter , Charming Billy Stories of political resistance from previous eras have become especially urgent to me to read now. So it was a pleasure to read my friend Sandell Morse's debut memoir, out today. It's a sort of that family detective story so many of know, in one wayof someone trying to find out more about a family's heritageand then stumbling into another story, found across the world, in France, while on a writing retreat, that provides much more than just answers. Elegant, erudite, passionate, I congratulate her on seeing this book through to print. Alexander Chee, Author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel The Spiral Shell' s strength lies in what Morse pieced together about a village under occupation....Stories such as the remarkable ones she has unearthed are really the only way of doing it.
