DISTANT FATHERS is "one-of-a-kind," "stunning" and "unforgettable," says Full Stop. "Treasures await in this work," Jeanne Bonner writes of the memoir by Marina Jarre in Ann Goldstein's "fine translation ... Jarre’s English-language debut is a story of an unforgettable life full of heartbreaking moments, and the author honors the genre of memoir by presenting her life and herself truthfully, warts and all."
