PHP 200.00
" Yet wrestling with hard-pressing issues, Wigley remains a funny storyteller in his memoir Home of the Ashfall: A Memoir. Filled with narrative whiplash, his essays recount his mother?s life, and his grief over her passing, and while it appears to be a maternal tribute, the book is also very much about his search for a father. Funny, heartbreaking, and enlightening, his story, in his telling, triggers one?s own recollection, mirroring their experience until it slowly becomes their own."
