The Weave of My Life

When her husband of 60 years died, Elsa Rosenvasser Feher was brought to a standstill and found herself re-examining the life she had lived. The result is this memoir, The Weave of My Life, in which she explores her identity: who she is, where she came from. Using this search to set out the under-pinnings (the warp) of her life, she then tells stories (the weft). In this manner she weaves her life anew, in the voice of the present and of the past, borrowing from her 75 years of diary entries and interspersing writings done over the years. The author is a scientist and an educator, a mountaineer and a music buff, and a lover of language and words.
