Lucy Barton is in the hospital recovering from complications
of a simple operation. During her nine week recovery, she is visited by her
mother, which surprises her. Lucy and her mother haven’t spoken for years, but
her mother travels to New York from Amgash, Illinois. Lucy’s husband called her
mother and paid for her air fare.
Lucy grew up poor, dirty and abused, living in a garage and
was an outcast in her hometown. She wanted to become a writer, and moved away,
married, and had two daughters.
The conversations between Lucy and her mother reveal their
troubled relationship, and her mother is not at all a sympathetic character. A
compelling and disturbing story.
