Lifesaving by Judith Barrington

Lifesaving by Judith Barrington

In 1963, the author's parents drowned when the cruise ship Lakonia caught fire and sank north of the Canary Isles. Barrington was nineteen. Lifesaving is a lyrical rendering of an event that foreshadowed the accident, the years of holding grief at bay -- much of them in Franco's Spain, and her eventual passage through mourning. Lifesaving is also a coming-of-age story in its illumination of the special ways that teenagers deal with loss. The story is told with gentle humor and consummate skill.
