Fallow Ground opens on Day 796 before returning to the beginning of Lisa and James's attempts to conceive. How does this choice affect the way readers experience the optimism of the early chapters?
Much of the memoir is written in the second person, with Lisa addressing herself as “you” rather than “I.” How does this narrative perspective shape the relationship between the narrator, her past self, and the reader?
Each chapter connects a natural phenomenon with an aspect of human experience. Which of these comparisons stayed with you most, and how did it influence your understanding of the story?
Humor appears throughout the memoir, sometimes in the midst of deeply painful experiences. What role does humor play in the storytelling, and how does it affect the way readers engage with the more difficult moments?
