A moving and beautiful account of the author’s mother told with a mixture of fact and fiction. Drusilla Mojeska is a fine writer, an accomplished novelist and, for a time, teacher of literary criticism. She takes to heart the recent writings about the varied nature of “truth.” In writing Poppy, she brings together what can be documented about her mother with less reliable memories and fiction.

In this award-winning book, Drusilla Modjeska sets out to collect the evidence of her mother's life. But when the facts refuse to give up their secrets, she follows the thread of history and memory into imagination. There she teases out the story of Poppy, who married at twenty and sang to her children, until suddenly one day in 1959, she was taken away to a sanatorium. What had gone wrong in a family that everyone described as happy? What pulled Poppy through the years of shock treatment and despair? These are some of the questions the daughter must ask before she can make peace with her own past. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
