500    "This is a Borzoi Book published by Alfred A. Knopf"--
       Title page verso. 
520    "The best-selling novelist and memoirist delivers her most
       intimate and powerful work: a piercing, life-affirming 
       memoir about marriage and memory, about the frailty and 
       elasticity of our most essential bonds, and about the 
       accretion, over time, of both sorrow and love. Hourglass 
       is an inquiry into how marriage is transformed by time--
       abraded, strengthened, shaped in miraculous and sometimes 
       terrifying ways by accident and experience. With courage 
       and relentless honesty, Dani Shapiro opens the door to her
       house, her marriage, and her heart, and invites us to 
       witness her own marital reckoning--a reckoning in which 
       she confronts both the life she dreamed of and the life 
       she made, and struggles to reconcile the girl she was with
       the woman she has become. What are the forces that shape 
       our most elemental bonds? How do we make lifelong 
       commitments in the face of identities that are 
       continuously shifting, and commit ourselves for all time 
       when the self is so often in flux? What happens to love in
       the face of the unexpected, in the face of disappointment 
       and compromise--how do we wrest beauty from imperfection, 
       find grace in the ordinary, desire what we have rather 
       than what we lack? Drawing on literature, poetry, 
       philosophy, and theology, Shapiro writes gloriously of the
       joys and challenges of matrimonial life, in a luminous 
       narrative that unfurls with urgent immediacy and sharp 
       intelligence. Artful, intensely emotional work from one of
       our finest writers"--|cProvided by publisher.
