Produktinformationen zu „The History of Great Things “
A warm, witty, and deeply moving novel in which a woman and her mother narrate the stories of each others lives: a luminous story of two women whose lives span the 1930s through today, whose connections run deeper than either may be willing to concede, and who learn through storytelling, the values of love, loss, and letting go.
Klappentext zu „The History of Great Things “
A witty and irresistible story of a mother and daughter regarding each other through the looking glass of time, grief, and forgiveness.In two beautifully counterpoised narratives, two women-mother and daughter-try to make sense of their own lives by revisiting what they know about each other. The History of Great Things tells the entwined stories of Lois, a daughter of the Depression Midwest who came to New York to transform herself into an opera star, and her daughter, Elizabeth, an aspiring writer who came of age in the 1970s and '80s in the forbidding shadow of her often-absent, always larger-than-life mother. In a tour de force of storytelling and human empathy, Elizabeth chronicles the events of her mother's life, and in turn Lois recounts her daughter's story-pulling back the curtain on lifelong secrets, challenging and interrupting each other, defending their own behavior, brandishing or swallowing their pride, and, ultimately, coming to understand each other in a way that feels both extraordinary and universal.
The History of Great Things is a novel about a mother and daughter who are intimately connected and not connected enough; it will make readers laugh and cry and wonder how we become the adults we always knew we should-even if we're not always adults our parents understand.
