Review Quotes:
"Some of the best nonfiction writing reveals the universal while telling a personal story. In Nicole Graev Lipson's remarkable debut collection, Mothers and Other Fictional Characters: A Memoir In Essays (Chronicle Prism, 2025), the writer brilliantly mines stories from her own life to reveal the truth, pain, and beauty that mark the experiences all women share in their roles as wives/partners, lovers, mothers, and friends...such a gift."--Hippocampus
