商品簡介
“A riveting journey . . . Funny, painful, absurd, and heartwarming. Alice’s mother comes fully to life in all her complexity, a woman of her times and ahead of her time. Alice’s own struggle to accept her imperfect self is a loving message to mothers who struggle to live life with grace. A beautiful book.” —Julie Metz, New York Times bestselling author of Perfection
Thirty years after her death, Alice’s mother appears to her, seemingly in the flesh, and continues to do so during the hardest year of parenting Alice has had to face. As it turns out, it’s entirely possible for the people we’ve lost to come back to us when we need them the most.
Although letting her mother back into her life is not an easy thing, Alice navigates it with humor, intelligence, and honesty. What she learns is that she must revisit her childhood and allow herself to be a daughter once more in order to take care of her own girls. Eventually, understanding and then forgiving her mother’s parenting transgressions leads her to accept herself and to realize that she doesn’t have to be perfect to be a good mother.
“What Cohen made of this year is a book so honest, so moving, and ultimately so wise that it is a privilege to take the journey with her. It is a perfect book. I want to tell everyone, every mother, every daughter, to read it.” —Abigail Thomas, author of A Three Dog Life and Safekeeping
“I love, love, love this book. It’s so rich, so real, and so moving . . . an astonishingly wonderful book—I was enthralled.” —Caroline Leavitt, author of Is This Tomorrow
“This warm, witty, wise memoir is an elixir of love. It captures the struggles of every woman who ever wanted to be a better mother or daughter.” —Nancy Bachrach, author of The Center of the Universe
