[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: PETER OWEN LTD], Margareta Bergman, sister of the acclaimed film director, Ingmar Bergman, follows up her successful novel Karin ("a graphic, at times lyrical study of a troubled wife and mother" -- The Washington Times) with another dark portrait of a tormented woman trying to save herself. Jenny moves to England from her native Sweden with her husband and four children. There she becomes more and more enmeshed in a complex web of bizarre interactions between her loving but over-protective husband, her jealous mother-in-law, and the traumas of her past. When her mother comes to stay, the rejection Jenny experienced at the hands of her strict and religious parents and competitive, world-famous brother, returns to haunt her, provoking mental breakdown and a suicide attempt.PSlowly, the truth emerges that her recovery is dependent upon the very relationships that precipitated her breakdown in the first place. She is the mirror of all who surround her: family, friends, therapist, and the reader. Like so many of the tortured characters in her brother's great films, she too discovers that redemption can come from those around us who are willing, and able, to reach out in what might otherwise be an all-too harsh and brutal world.Versandfertig in über 4 Wochen, [SC: 0.00]
