Description
A cat and mouse game of surveillance and psychological torment unfolds between a middle-aged artist and her aging mother. Vigdis Hjorth's new novel explores the complex and often fraught relationship between parent and child, as a recent widow returns to Oslo to prepare for a retrospective of her art. The subject of her work is motherhood, and some of her paintings have sparked a dramatic rift between parent and child. As the two women reconnect, Johanna finds herself increasingly entangled in her mother's thoughts, and their proximity sets both on edge.
