Description
Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover and Me is a powerful memoir about the complex bond between a mother and daughter.
The author's life was forever changed when her mother, Malabar, began an affair with her husband's closest friend at the age of 14. This event set in motion a chain of events that would have profound consequences for Adrienne's life, driving her into a doomed marriage and deep depression.
This book is a story about how the people close to us can break our hearts simply because they have access to them. It's a tale of resilience, a reminder that we need not be the parents our parents were to us; that moving forward is possible.
