&#160; &ldquo;Compassionate, insightful, and powerfully honest, in Hourglass Dani Shapiro illuminates the deepest mysteries, contradictions, and consolations of so very much&mdash;love, memory, the people we used to be and the people we&rsquo;ve become.&#160; In other words: life.&#160; I was absorbed by Hourglass and consoled by it, too.&#160; It&rsquo;s a beautiful book by a writer of rare talent.&rdquo; &mdash;Cheryl Strayed &#160; &ldquo;Gorgeous, stunning, extraordinary&mdash; life-changing.&rdquo; &mdash;Will Schwalbe &#160; &ldquo;Rilke reminds us that &ldquo;There are multitudes of people, but there are many more faces, because each person has several of them.&rdquo;&#160;And how do we, moment after elusive moment, marry then continue to change and grow yet still accommodate these multitudes in one another?&#160; This is just one of the piercingly compelling questions Dani Shapiro explores in her masterfully rendered new memoir.&#160; Written with erudition, hard-earned wisdom, and sensual grace, Hourglass is a fearless and lovely mosaic of those very fragments that make life worth living, the only one we get.&#160; I adore this book.&rdquo; &mdash;Andre Dubus III &#160; &#160;&#160; &ldquo;Dani Shapiro&rsquo;s prose is elegant and crystal clear, the perfect vehicle for her fierce intelligence and curiosity about things that lurk just out of view.&#160; Hourglass is such a lovely book.&rdquo; &mdash;Richard Russo &#160; &ldquo;Reading this book was like skating across a perfect piece of ice and then slowly noticing the cracks. Dark, cold water shows through. We can&rsquo;t see the depths.&#160;Be careful, Shapiro warns,&#160;be careful, but still she skates on in the fading light with remarkable beauty and grace.&rdquo; &mdash;Jenny Offill"Poignant... Timeless... Brutal honesty is the bread and butter of the marriage memoir, yet Shapiro still manages to make her husband sound quirky and tenacious in the manner of the best romantic comedy leads. And her&#160;prose has a way of making even mundane disappointments feel portentous and universal...by the end of her short book, we want to know what will happen next."&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&#160; &ldquo;In this touching and intimate memoir&hellip; Shapiro beautifully weaves together her own moving language and a commonplace book&rsquo;s worth of perfect quotes from others. &mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review) &#160; &ldquo;To write openly about an enduring intimate relationship requires courage and tact&hellip; In this compelling account of her 18-year marriage, Shapiro carefully exposes the vulnerabilities that have subtly begun to surface within the relationship&hellip;The narrative demonstrates Shapiro&rsquo;s finely tuned, poetic skills as a writer&hellip; A sharply observed and frequently moving memoir of marriage.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"These memories form a reality that is as diaphanous, fragile and as surprisingly resilient as a spider web.&#160;Hourglass&#160;is not only a profound and moving reflection on Shapiro&rsquo;s marriage, but on all marriages."&mdash;Bookpage"[Shapiro] has never written anything as raw, dark, or brave as Hourglass... a&#160;penetrating meditation...&#160;Hourglass is a stalwart witness to the erosions of time&rsquo;s tides that, in being stalwart, it also wishes to stand against.&rsquo;&rsquo;&mdash;The Boston Globe&#160;&#160;"A meditation that&rsquo;s intimate, wide-ranging, funny and smart."&#160;&#160;&mdash;Portland Press Herald"Dani Shapiro presents a sharp look at the realities of marriage. She does so in delicate strokes, never seeming self-conscious. With a combination of engaged storytelling and what remains carefully unsaid, Shapiro creates an abstract intimacy that allows the reader into her experience... It is the very book that should be given to a young couple at the beginning of their relationship."&#160;&mdash;Interview Magazine"That delicate, ferocious act of unsweeping ourselves from the river of time and unplundering its instants is what&#160;Dani Shapiro&#160;explores with uncommon elegance in&#160;Hourglass&mdash; at once a memoir and a quiet manifesto for how, despite the cavalcade of losses and the exponential narrowing of possibility marking the passage of the years, it remains possible to have an expansive and creatively invigorating existence. In Shapiro&rsquo;s virtuosic hands, time compresses and expands &mdash; an accordion playing the sorrowful yet redemptive melody that is life."&#160;&mdash;Brain Pickings"Shapiro&rsquo;s honesty and devotion to her craft are impossible to detangle from her love of family....This potent memoir is a graceful meditation on the fragile balance of time, love, and loss. It&rsquo;s an excellent entry point for Shapiro&rsquo;s poignant and personal oeuvre. So start with this latest, and take it from there."&#160;&mdash;Signature Reads
