Attachment Disorders
Plage de prix : $7.99 à $25.00
Harriet Brown dreams of finally finishing the novel she has been working on for decades. But menopause, motherhood, marriage, and midlife thwart her at every turn. When her 85-year-old mother, Florence, goes missing on Christmas Eve, Hattie embarks on a frantic search for the elderly woman before she freezes to death. Meanwhile, Hattie’s adult daughter, Daphne, makes a shocking announcement that rocks Hattie’s world.
As Hattie navigates these crises, she must tend to everyone’s needs but her own. Will Florence ever be found? When will Daphne come to her senses? Will Hattie’s autobiographical novel ever be published? And if it is, will her husband Charlie discover the secret she has kept for twenty-five years.
With humour and insight Attachment Disorders captures the indignities of aging and the absurdities of the writing life. It celebrates the complexities and, yes, disorder, of family relationships particularly those of mothers and daughters as they careen between enduring love and the inescapable frustrations of filial and maternal affection. At the heart of this story are the deep connections that unite us even when we are most alienated—the unquenchable spirit of the elderly, the buoyancy of the young, and the resilience of a middle-aged woman’s determination to prevail.
