Description
‘Mothercare’ is an honest and beautifully written account of a sudden, drastically changed relationship to one’s mother, and of the time and labour spent navigating the American healthcare system. When a mother’s unusual health condition, normal pressure hydrocephalus, renders her entirely dependent on you, your sisters, caregivers, and companions, the unthinkable becomes daily life. Lynne Tillman describes doing what seems impossible – handling her mother as if she were a child and coping with a longtime ambivalence toward her.
