We discuss Lessons from Better People by Sarah Crawford. This fictionalized account and personal narrative blend humor, pathos, and expert characterization in an unforgettable story about a Syracuse University Remembrance Scholar who spends the summer in Europe with two goals in mind: forget a broken relationship during her internship at a fancy Brussels PR firm, and visit Lockerbie, Scotland where almost 40 years ago Syracuse students just like her were killed in bombing of Pan Am flight 103.
