Possibly the most Perfect Pillow… Period.

This Is All
The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn

by Aiden Chambers

“All writing is a gift…All writing is memory…”
This is a story of stories, compiled by Cordelia Kenn for her unborn daughter. She shares the tales of her life in her “pillow book,” a collection of notebooks recording a multitude of experiences. “Cordelia maddens, fascinates, and ultimately seduces the reader. This is a character never to be forgotten…”
