Résumé
Beth flew the coop as soon as she could, making a life for
herself in London. James, her more dutiful brother, stayed in Dublin, raising a family not far from their mother, Alice.
Now Alice is dying and Beth has returned to the
shabby grandeur of her childhood home to keep vigil by
her mother's bedside. Unable to speak, the only way
Alice feels she can bridge the gap of misunderstanding
between her daughter and herself is to write letters
to her seeking reconciliation.
The Walled Garden explores the fragile nature of a mother-daughter relationship, its hopes and expectations, its guilt and regrets. It is also an extraordinarily perceptive novel about childhood and growing old, magical and gripping in the
subtlety of its telling.
