It is a book that Gwyneth has been preparing to write all her life, in diaries that she’s kept since childhood. In these journals, she interrogates the emotionally abusive mother/daughter relationship, in great pain but determined to find a way through.The result is a book that Gwyneth co-writes with her younger self, an unexpected and life-saving dialogue through time. Metaphors of haunting intensity help her confront what happened to her; quotations from art and literature help to guide and steady her. Nightshade Mother is a book about the power of art, language and, ultimately, about homecoming after a lifetime of exile from herself. It is a profoundly moving and beautiful work; questing, forgiving and loving in its approach.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 135mmItem Width: 22mmAuthor: Gwyneth LewisGenre: BiographyTopic: Society & Culture, Gender Sex & Relationships, Personal DevelopmentRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
