Mary Soderstrom is a writer with eight works of non-fiction, three short story collections, six novels, and one children's book to her credit. Before We Forget is her nineteenth book. She lives in Montreal.
Original, wide-ranging, and insightful, this remarkable interweaving of science, history, and personal anecdote finds a writer-magician doing the near-impossible. While exploring both individual and collective memory, and incorporating the lessons of contemporary science, as well as those of China, Rome, and Indigenous North America, Mary Soderstrom reaches into a hat and pulls out a coherent, readable work of art. Bravo! * Ken McGoogan, author of Shadows of Tyranny: Defending Democracy in an Age of Dictatorship *
