Paperback. A memoir of mothers and daughters, traced through four generations, from Paris to New York and back again. More than Nadja Spiegelmans famous father, Maus creator Art Spiegelman, and more than most mothers, hersFrench-born New Yorker art director Francoise Moulyexerted a force over reality that was both dazzling and daunting. As Nadjas body changed and began to whisper to the adults around me in a language I did not understand, their relationship grew tense. Unwittingly, they were replaying a drama from her mothers past. The weight of the difficult stories Francoise told her daughter shifted the balance between them. Nadjas grandmothers memories then contradicted her mothers at nearly every turn, but beneath them lay a difficult history of her own.Nadja emerged with a deeper understanding of how each generation reshapes the past and how sometimes those who love us best hurt us most. Readers will recognise themselves and their families in this moving, heartbreaking memoir. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
