What makes us nostalgic? What thoughtful ghosts from our pasts haunt our imaginations – and our intellects? Sarah Einstein’s Self-Portrait in Apologies explores past mistakes as well as the many different kinds of love that need no apology. These fourteen essays contemplate loneliness and companionship, regret and desire, uncertainty, and wisdom, revealing the depths of a life richly lived. Self-Portrait in Apologies charts both love and loss with a sharp mind, a generous heart, and an eye for the dark beauties of a dappled life. (Randon Noble, author of Be With Me Always)
