Product Details
- Mothers and daughters, families and their wrecks. Questions, ties and showdowns in the triangle of memory, creation and obsession, fault lines waiting to be triggered by minor blows. Vigdis Hjorth, the powerful voice of contemporary Norwegian literature who creates a stir with heritage, relies on the possibilities of transcending childhood and surviving the battlefield, also called family, in this novel. When My Mother Died is about a woman who was ostracized by her family due to her choices, returning to where she was born and raised as a successful painter and having to confront her past. The events begin when the narrator calls his mother, whom he has not seen for years, at night and her mother does not answer the phone. This missed call, which drags mother and daughter into a cat-and-mouse game with no winners, brings with it an avalanche of disintegration. Vigdis Hjorth, who skillfully deals with the conflict between family and individual and fearlessly examines the dead ends of the mother-daughter relationship, the dilemmas of motherhood and the transfer of trauma within the family, offers a shocking and questioning reading experience. It also leaves a question: Is it possible to be a mother who does not cause wounds and a love that does not kill? Only what we lose belongs to us forever. Show more

Vigdis Hjorth Editorial Review
**** Is My Mother Dead, written by Vigdis Hjorth, is a deeply introspective novel that delves into the complexities of mother-daughter relationships through a unique narrative lens. The author employs a stream-of-Consciousness technique that vividly intersperses thoughts, emotions, and memories, weaving an intricate tapestry of a woman's existential reflections about her mother and herself. Readers have praised the work for its fluid and engaging Prose, which is seasoned with clever ironies. The emotional depth of the story resonates with many, as it explores themes of silence, unresolved trauma, and the blurred line between reality and perception. Hjorth's ability to capture the subtleties of human experience is lauded, making this novel a poignant read for anyone looking to confront the unspoken facets of familial relationships. While the novel garners admiration for its rich literary style and relatable themes, it has also faced criticism for its repetitive nature. Some readers felt that certain sentiments and phrases were reiterated excessively, leading to moments of monotony that detracted from the overall experience. Nevertheless, for those willing to embrace the nuances of the narrative, Is My Mother Dead offers a courageous exploration of inner silences and the quest for understanding within familial bonds. **
