Avery and her sister are in Zimbabwe when they get the news of their mother’s death in 2011. Avery heads home to deal with the business of clearing out the house, finding it hard to grasp that this difficult, dedicated, troubled woman is now gone for good. Her mother’s collection of jewellery, especially her engagement ring with its gorgeous sapphire, becomes a prism through which Avery processes her feelings about her mother. Once she and her sister have chosen the pieces they want to keep, Avery takes the rest of the jewellery to be valued and sold; and that very practical story – of dispersal and celebration – frames her memories of their complex, fractious relationship and her mother’s problematic drinking. A meditation on loss, remembrance and forgiveness...
