Description
This collection of sonnets explores the complex relationships within families, delving into the darker aspects of love and suffering. Written from the perspective of a daughter to her mother during a difficult time, these poems offer a raw and tender portrayal of familial bonds.
The speaker's words are both hard-edged and vulnerable, as they confront the ways in which illness can heal old wounds and reveal new truths about the self and others.
