The essays in this subtle and wide-ranging collection depict the effects of family on one woman's life; simultaneously, DON'T MIND ME, I JUST DIED undertakes the confounding search to know and understand those who are closest to her. Some essays explore the lasting impact of mothers on daughters. Others focus on the shifting relations of parents and children over time, the ironies of marital life, the risks of mistaken realities, and lurking presence of death. Caroline Sutton's writing evokes multiple perspectives on everyday experiences -- experiences as varied as painting a room and getting on the wrong subway -- and the essays find meaning in unlikely places. They expose the ephemeral nature of the things we gather and the homes we build while at the same time conceding our urgent need to hang on to memory and to stay aware of its fickle ambiguity. DON'T MIND ME, I JUST DIED invites the reader to see -- whether what's seen is a lunar eclipse or a child eating spaghetti -- and to value the influence of family, whether that influence is deliberate or in spite of ourselves --
