About the Book
A richly detailed, darkly hilarious novel of a family held together and torn apart by its magnificently narcissistic matriarchBook Synopsis
"Theroux possesses a fabulously nasty sense of humor." -- Stephen King, New York Times Book Review To those in her Cape Cod town, Mother is an exemplar of piety, frugality, and hard work. To her husband and seven children, she is a selfish, petty tyrant. She excels at playing her offspring against each other. Her favorite, Angela, died in childbirth; only Angela really understands her, she tells the others. The others include the officious lawyer, Fred; the uproarious professor, Floyd; a pair of inseparable sisters whose devotion to Mother has consumed their lives; and JP, the narrator, a successful writer whose work she disparages. As she lives well past the age of one hundred, her brood struggles with and among themselves to shed her viselike hold on them.Mother Land is a piercing portrait of how a parent's narcissism impacts a family.
