Summary When her mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, the author returns to letters they'd exchanged years before, to foster her mother's engagement with reading and thinking. Bird-bent Grass uses excerpts from their correspondence to explore memory, illness, friendship, conflict, cross-cultural communication, and letters' timeless power.
