Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Parravani succeeds in ‘writing Cara back to life’ and saving her own life in the process. No punches are pulled here, and Parravani’s matter-of-fact tone does nothing to shield readers from the enormity of her loss…Imagine looking in a mirror and not seeing yourself. Imagine living the rest of your life with half of yourself missing. Imagine looking at your own corpse. You don’t have to imagine: Parravani’s story makes it all clear.” —Library Journal (starred review)
“Haunting…More than a beautifully written memoir. [A] powerful and raw love letter.” —Washington Post
“Concise and captivating, Parravani’s prose paints her phoenix-like transformation such that the reader feels the flames of her fire. A poignant, book-arcing metaphor illustrates Christa’s battle to accept herself with a mirror-image. Raw and unstoppable, Her illuminates the triumph of the human spirit—both individual and shared.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Christa Parravani powerfully transforms her anguish over the traumatic death of her troubled identical sister into the astonishing Her.” —Vanity Fair
“Christa Parravani’s new memoir, Her, is a glimpse into the most intimate chambers of the identical twin relationship…Her is a tribute to the truly beloved, as well as a celebration of the push-and-pull between sisters.” —Oregonian
“A photographer and identical twin tells the intimately delineated, raw story of her beloved sister…A finely wrought achievement of grace, emotional honesty, and self-possession.” —Publishers Weekly
“[A] haunting memoir…Parravani delicately probes the fragile, intimate boundaries among love, identity and loss.” —Kirkus Reviews
