Vicki Laveau-Harvie's The Erratics Strong Review in the New York Times
Vicki Laveau Harvie’s debut memoir, The Erratics, has garnered a strong review in the New York Times ahead of its Spring publication in America.
Parul Sehgal said of the Stella Prize winning memoir ‘Laveau-Harvie depicts her mother neither as a riddle to be solved nor as a woman to be understood, but as an implacable act of nature, who must only be survived. If she remains a hazy character in the book, she inflects its every sentence, its structure, its aversions. She was a mother with a monstrous talent for twisting reality. In her memoir of the aftermath, her daughter tethers her story to the very ground beneath her. She speaks only of what she can confirm; she moves carefully, finding her footing.’
