Let's Dance - Hardcover

Lets Dance

Cloth. Zustand: Fine. First Edition. Isabel Burley returns to her childhood home to look after her mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. There she finds an angry old woman, prey to the threats of failing memory, the inability to run her own life and the local villains, who are eyeing her isolated house. The real threat, however, comes from within. Isabel thinks she has gone home to do good, but really she is looking for the love she lacked as a child. Isolated by her mother's growing madness, the two women become locked in a relationship of hatred and simmering violence, with roots that go deep into the past. The author has written a chilling yet poignant portrait of the relationship between a mother and her daughter, a portrait of family dependency, of our desire to break away, and of the guilt that holds us back. It is a thought-provoking novel by a superb storyteller. 277 pp.Very slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. Artikel-Nr. 028015
