Lauren DiStefano

Lauren DiStefano“Her job was to sort through the Box. To decide what to keep, and to put the rest down. She had to choose what, of all the things she inherited from the people who came before her, she wanted to bring forward. And what, of the past, she wanted to leave behind.” A modern interpretation of ‘generational trauma’ - heartfelt, alluring and glitzy.

Lauren DiStefanoDensity. This is the word that first enters my mind when I think about this book. It is dense in love, passion, mania, sadness, sickness, fate, glamour, history and grief. Two of the most glamorous, talented and beautiful individuals plagued by madness. I weeped towards the final chapters - the crushing weight of a severed love due to the intolerable weight of mania.
