To Linger With You
by Donna Nebenzahl
2025 • Memoir
A "riveting memoir... recounted in lush and gorgeous, vivid prose."— Montreal Gazette
Donna Nebenzahl grew up in the 1950s amid a large, close-knit Portuguese family in the colony of British Guiana. Nurtured by her loving grandparents, she never inquired why her mother lived a continent away nor asked about her father’s early death. Nor did she know why, as a devout young Catholic, she had a Jewish family name. After the colony headed toward independence and she had moved to Canada, Nebenzahl began to explore the difficult issues that her family history raised. The answers emerge gradually in this luminous, compelling memoir that explores the aftermath of loss and the true meaning of home.

Best known for his spy thrillers, here Gurr recalls his own youth in vivid prose. Hovering over it all, unseen but not unfelt, is a dark family secret guarded closely by the author’s parents. Gurr tells the story of his topsy-turvy early life with great panache, an exceptional memory for colourful detail, and a wry sense of humour.
