The Painted Table: Honoring Mother By Not Becoming Her by Suzanne Field
Requirements: ePUB Reader | 780 kB | Version: Retail
Overview: "the" Norwegian table, a century-old heirloom ingrained with family memory, has become a totem of a life Saffee would rather forget a childhood disrupted by her mother s mental illness. Saffee does not want the table. By the time she inherits the object of her mother s obsession, the surface is thick with haphazard layers of paint and heavy with unsettling memories. After a childhood spent watching her mother slide steadily into insanity, painting and re-painting the ancient table, Saffee has come to fear that seeds of psychosis may lie dormant within her. She must confront her mother s torment if she wants to defend herself against it. Traversing four generations over the course of a century, "The Painted Table "is a beautiful portrait of inherited memory. It is a sprawling narrative affirmation that a family artefact like a family member can bear the marks of one s past . . . as well as intimations of one s redemption.

This difficult but beautiful story of hurt and healing, desperation and hope, offers an intriguing view inside the world of the mentally ill and their loved ones. "Publishers Weekly"
