‘All that she is and is not’
Set in a postwar port city, a poignant novella captures the era and one woman’s place in it. Supported by elegant prose and an eye for period detail, the thoughtful book meditates on paths chosen and not chosen. —Brett Josef Grubisic reviews Break My Heart, Liverpool, by Pamela McGarry (Gibson’s: Great Hall Press, 2025) $19.95 / 9781777513412
