Description
Paul Theroux's Mother Land is a darkly comedic portrayal of one American family and its complex matriarch. To everyone in Cape Cod, she appears to be a pious, hardworking woman - but her husband and seven children see her as a selfish and petty tyrant.
The result is a suffocating kingdom of parental narcissism, where the ties that bind are both heartbreaking and hilarious. This engrossing novel explores the intricate web of relationships within this family, revealing the bickering, conspiracies, and desperate attempts to break free from their painful past.
