Description
A majestic novel about a single mother's collapse and its impact on her family. When Diane Aziz enters a California state hospital in the 1970s, it sets off a chain of events that will change their lives forever. As her children navigate their own struggles - one with architecture, another with Ivy league ambitions, and a younger brother drifting towards a life on the beach - they must also come to terms with the fragility of their mother's dreams. A story about family, duty, and the attendant struggles that come when a parent falls ill, Commitment honours the spirit of imperfect mothers and the under-chronicled significance of friends. With its moving portrayal of American families, Mona Simpson has written her most important and unforgettable novel.
