"This work will be read for many, many years as a classic, not only of the memoir genre but of modern writing." - Simon Schama.

"Monumental" - Elizabeth Gilbert.

At the age of nineteen, Natasha Trethewey saw her life fall apart when her former stepfather killed her mother. With a study full of clarity and tenderness, "Memorial Drive" is an act of love by a daughter – and an unflinching excavation of wounds that never heal. As Trethewey recounts her story and recovers the memory of her mother, she reveals the indelible scars of slavery and racism on the soul of a troubled nation.

"Utter art... Trethewey's masterpiece suggests that the greatest act of resistance by a black person is to remember." - Financial Times.
