It is a book that Gwyneth has been preparing to write all her life, in diaries that she’s kept since childhood. In these journals, she interrogates the emotionally abusive mother\/daughter relationship, in great pain but with determination to find a way through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a book that Gwyneth co-writes with her younger self, an unexpected and life-saving dialogue through time. Metaphors of haunting intensity help her confront what happened to her; quotations from art and literature help to guide and steady her. Nightshade Mother is a book about the power of art and language and, ultimately, about homecoming after a lifetime of exile from herself. It is a profoundly moving and beautiful work; questing, forgiving, and loving in its approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eDetails\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52527041741184,"sku":"ISBN9781915279903","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0215\/1318\/files\/9781915279903.jpg?v=1727709598","url":"https:\/\/www.siopcwlwm.co.uk\/products\/9781915279903","provider":"Siop Cwlwm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
