Sarah Perry's After the Eclipse
Perry's memoir is a devastating love letter to her mother, who was murdered when the author was twelve--a murder that went unsolved for years. As an adult, Perry is re-examining the crime, while talking about her own childhood and the life of her mother. I don't want to make this sound tawdry, because it really isn't at all (though parts of it are brutal). Just really compelling stuff. Side note, Perry lived in Durham for a while! A-.
