Résumé
Personal memories of the sort her Chatelaine readers adored - a remarkable life story seen through the window of her relationship with her mother. Every woman's relationship with her mother is special. Yet everyone will recognize some parts of another woman's story, especially if it is told as honestly and as sensitively as Rona Maynard tells it here. As a little girl, Maynard soon came to see that her family was not an ordinary one.
Her father, Max, was an artist and an alcoholic. Her mother was Fredelle Maynard, a brilliant academic who could not get a teaching job because she was a woman. Instead she became a writer - the author of Raisins and Almonds - and, above all, a driving, loving, ambitious, overpowering mother. In her shadow (and that of younger sister Joyce, who went off at eighteen to live with J. D. Salinger) Rona took time to blossom as a writer and editor in Toronto.
This book takes us through her career, step by step, including the miseries of being accused by her son's teachers - and her own mother - of being a bad mother, overly concerned with her own career. Rona's strong, direct style will ring true for every working woman. Through the magic of her writing, she gives a clear-eyed and affectionate account of her relationship with a demanding, loving mother.
I said to my father, "You don't live here any more. This is Mother's house, not yours. It's time for you to go."My father cursed me. He shook his fist. Then he left and never came back.-From My Mother's Daughter
