A propos de cet article

I must have been five when she moved out, and from then until I was eleven, I did not know where my mother lived. I saw her each day, but she was so protective of her privacy, her fragile illusory freedom, that she never revealed her address, or even her phone number. She moved fairly often, but she never told her parents or her child where it was that she slept, parked her old blue Pontiac, kept her clothes and food and her small, private life. So says Isabel, the narrator of this extraordinary first novel about a daughter's struggle to free herself from the passionate ties of family and blood. Written with unusual power, lyricism, humor, and grace, "Thicker Than Water" has been called "brilliant," "flawless," and "hypnotizing"--and it marks the literary debut of a remarkable new writer. Growing up in thrall to her family--in love with her elusive mother, frightened and fascinated by the father who left before she was born--Isabel says, "Having all my life bent my will and broken it under a desire to please and secure the love of my capricious mother, it was easy to slip into relationships of sexual submissiveness. My very body and blood understood subjugation of a loved one." Caught in the snare of her violent and destructive family, Isabel struggles to free herself from abusive patterns of love. This mesmerizing work of fiction lends new meaning to Freud's "family romance," brilliantly illuminating how fragile the line is between family love and the darker sides of passion. There is some tanning on the inside flaps of the cover. The pages are clean and free of any markings or highlighting.…
