The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok
A Mother with Schizophrenia struggles to have a relationship and her daughters. Children cannot understand mental illness and the girls in this book grow up scared and unsure. When they reach adulthood, they cut off all contact with their mother, but are brought back to her side, years later, as she dies.
The language is beautiful, the relationship between a mother and daughter, beautiful. Not an easy read, but enjoyable.
