O knihe
Bestselling author Torey Hayden`s new novel poignantly tells of a daughter`s attempt to grow up in the shadow of her mother`s haunted past. Warm, melancholy and evocatively rendered this book captures the essence of a family touched by sadness. A haunting tale of a family who can`t escape the consequences of their mother`s tormented childhood.
Hayden, a master storyteller, again turns her talent to fiction in this novel that combines a psychological thriller with a nuanced family drama. Lesley`s Hungarian mother Mara -- charming, childlike, lovable -- is traumatized by her adolescent Holocaust experiences. Though her American husband and daughters try to live a normal life, Mara holds them thrall to her moods and quirks.
Lesley struggles to understand, but dealing with Mara is a severe strain which sets her apart from her peers. But when Mara`s psychosis results in tragedy, Lesley goes to Wales in search of her mother`s remembered joy.
