  Grief is like an inside joke: you have to have been there to really get it. 
  Everything Cassandra Rampersad knows about her family history has been overheard: whispered behind a closed door or written in a notebook stowed away. Cassandra has always been curious, and when a death in the family means she has to return home to Toronto, it seems like the perfect opportunity to finally discover what it is that no one else will talk about. 
  But uncovering the past will never be easy when it has stayed hidden for so long. And with every new revelation, Cassandra realises that there is a reason that her family has never been good at grieving… 
  A powerful meditation on memory and loss, Wild Fires is a beautifully crafted novel from a stunning new literary voice.

  Twelve patients. 
  Twelve final confessions—each one tangled in the holidays.

  So pour a drink. Lock your door. 
  And settle in for twelve nights of cold truths from the Death Ward. 
  12 NIGHTS BEFORE CHRISTMAS: An Asylum Advent Collection 
  Twelve nights.

  AN ASYLUM FOR MY AFFECTIONS -...

  In a letter to her editor at The New Yorker, the Irish writer Maeve Brennan described the emotional landscape provided by her mother:
  She gave me an 'asylum for my affections' and I learned that my affections so far exceeded her ability to understand me that she came near to drowning.
  In this new anthology of essays about Maeve Brennan, ten contemporary Irish writers consider the various meanings of the word 'asylum': an institution, a site of incarceration, a refuge and a shelter.
  They explore cityscapes and girlhood, mythology and folklore, loneliness and transience, the emotional impact of history and diaspora, as well as family connections to Brennan. These 'sketches' offer new and broader perspectives on Brennan's life and the continuing impact of her work in the 21st century.
