I purchased it along with a few others of the same general content. This one stands out by far.The second reason I chose this particular book among the handful is because of the title, which is obviously important or it wouldn't be the title. Not many other reviews have mentioned it. I had been feeling like I was imagining things... like my loss had been imagined, like the pregnancy had been imagined. Not really... I knew they had happened, but there are moments when I felt so out-of-place after our loss that I imagined I was about to wake up at any moment or that perhaps I had wandered mistakenly into a parallel-universe and the real me was still back in the real world, having a real, live baby. The image of Gweneth Paltrow in that movie Sliding Doors kept popping into my mind. At some point, at some singular moment, something happened, and one life kept going as expected while some other, wrong life, my life, ricocheted off in the wrong direction. This concept has had a strong pull on me and I am relieved to see someone write her story of baby loss that includes this perspective. Elizabeth's writing is descriptive in a way that gifts the bereaved reader with the words to say what she otherwise hadn't yet found the words to say. The writing is not exactly linear, which to me makes perfect sense because grief is not linear. There is each stage in it's prescribed order and then there is revisiting of each stage in a different order or in conjunction with another stage and this goes on forever as far as I can tell.Now on my 3rd pregnancy, following the 2nd that resulted in a beautiful but stillborn daughter, I nod my head along with the author as she explains how she could not do anything the same as the last pregnancy and writes about how she felt and acted while bringing a subsequent child into the world following the "calamity" of losing her first son.Outside of the story of pregnancy, loss and having a subsequent child, I found that reading about her life abroad with her husband was really enjoyable. I find pleasure in both Ms. McCracken's lifestyle and writing style. In the end, I don't just feel like I read a book about a woman whose baby died, I feel like I have made a friend. I may not be able to call her up and talk about the distress I'm having here during my third pregnancy, but like so many other "friends" I have made in the characters of my favorite books, I can read this one over and over again (it is a less-than-one-day read) and find comfort in the pages where she recounts the far-too- relatable thoughts and emotions I only wish all my real-life friends and family could understand about delivering a stillborn baby and about bringing a new baby into the world after that. She lost a baby years before me and wanted a book unlike the others already out there. I lost a baby years after she did and wanted a book like the one she wrote. I am so grateful to have found it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heartbreaking, intimate, and beautifully told. *by C***P on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2019* Quite possibly the most intimate experience and the saddest story a mother can share. This is Elizabeth McCracken’s memoir AN EXACT REPLICA OF A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION. In the book, she opens her heart about the road she and her husband are about to embark upon while they are living abroad, outside of Paris. Elizabeth is enjoying the bliss of being newly married and pregnant.In her night month, she finds out that her baby is no longer living. The magnitude of this loss is unfathomable. How can she relive the darkest moments of losing her baby given what she has gone through both physically and emotionally? Through her book, she does, and it is quite a feat. Her baby born but not having had a chance to live. A mother not yet having had a chance to embrace her baby whom she already loves. How is she able to grieve? How can she process what she has been through? How can she move on? There is no plan for her situation. She creates a path. And beautifully, insightfully, remarkably writes about the pain, the frustration, the love, the loss. There is so much sadness. While in the depths of despair, she finds strength. And humor. What an amazing ray of life she shows not only for those who have experienced the loss of a baby, but of the worst kind of grief that anyone who has experienced immense sorrow can relate to. Take a page out of her book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best memoir I have ever read *by A*** on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019* Although sad, Elizabeth’s story enstills an incredible amount of resilience. My daughter was stillborn at full-term and this book put into words thoughts and feelings that I have never been able to verbalize. I have read and reread this book countless times and I appreciate more every time. I was so blown away by this book that I would love to meet the author and hug her for her bravery to share her story and tell her how much she has helped me in my grief process by sharing her story. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/105851551-an-exact-replica-of-a-figment-of-my-imagination-memoir](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/105851551-an-exact-replica-of-a-figment-of-my-imagination-memoir) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-21*
