Description
Susanna Sonnenberg's memoir Her Last Death is a powerful exploration of her complex relationship with her mother. When her aunt calls to inform her that her mother has been in a coma after a car accident, Susanna is faced with the daunting task of deciding whether to visit her. The decision she makes reveals a great deal about their tumultuous bond. Her mother was a charismatic and glamorous woman who lived life on her own terms, often at the expense of those around her. Susanna's childhood was marked by her mother's outrageous behavior and judgment, which taught her the art of sex and the benefits of lying. As she navigates this complicated world, Sonnenberg grapples with the desire to break free from her mother's influence and forge her own path. This memoir is a riveting and unflinching account of one woman's struggle for independence and self-discovery.
