Tour: HIEROGLYPHICS by Jill McCorkle


4 Stars

Walking through the memories: it's common among the elderly,  sometimes unavoidable for younger persons,  especially when the memories are painful. 

Paging through the memories: sometimes studying history, sometimes expanding on genealogical findings, sometimes just yearning to know someone. 

HIEROGLYPHICS unfolds around a long-married couple,  both striving to recall, and a younger single mother,  struggling to cope and to do her best for her son without fatherly input. Interaction of the couple and the mom sends memories unraveling like a yarn ball batted around by a playful kitten.
