5/30/2023 0 Comments The mother by yvvette edwards![]() ![]() Lemon has a painful question: Berris held the knife, but he and Jinx both played a part. Fourteen years ago, Jinx's mother was murdered by her abusive boyfriend and this tragedy was the trigger that began her alienation. A figure from a time and a catastrophic event that Jinx would rather forget, Lemon is intent on reliving it all. In fact, Jinx feels most at home amongst the dead people she works with as a funeral home cosmetologist.Īnd then, one day, Lemon comes to call. But her food offers sustenance, not comfort. She cooks beautifully balanced meals that look aesthetic on the plate. ![]() She cleans obsessively - a largely pointless task, since there is little mess to clean since her husband and young son, tired of her frigidity, moved out. He just knocked, that was all, knocked and the front door and waited, like the fourteen years since I'd killed my mother hadn't happened. Utterly compelling and deserving of its Booker longlisting. ![]() Summary: A fierce book about love, regret, alienation and redemption. ![]()
