Just like her mother
14.99 €
Beautiful Zelda was only twenty-four when her abusive husband forcibly committed her to a mental hospital. She never saw her children again.
Three decades later, Zelda's daughter, Lila, harnessing everything she has—brains, charm, talent, and good looks—rises to the top of American media as a brilliant editor-in-chief. She prioritizes her career unconditionally, leaving little time for her own family.
And now Lila's adult daughter, Grace, can't shake feelings of loneliness and resentment toward her mother. A successful reporter, Grace still lives in Lila's shadow, about whom she plans to write a book. But Grace realizes she knows terribly little about her family. How can you be yourself, she wonders, if no one has told you where your roots lie?
After all, sometimes we don't even suspect how family secrets, even if we don't know them, change our lives.
"Like Her Mother" is a family story. Here everything is twisted into a ball: an unsuccessful marriage, ambition, a thirst for power and lies, endless lies, behind which lies an ugly truth.
