Description
In Anne Enright's compelling novel, a daughter grapples with the complex legacy of her famous actress mother. As Norah delves into Katherine O’Dell's life, from her bohemian beginnings on the Irish stage to international stardom and eventual decline, she uncovers a reality far stranger than fiction. This intimate exploration examines the blurred lines between performance and personhood, and how memory reshapes our understanding of those we thought we knew best. Through Norah's candid and self-reflective narration, the novel probes the enduring power of maternal influence, the nature of fame, and the search for truth within a life lived in the spotlight.
