Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A memoir from the author of The Middle Place about mothers and daughtersa bond that can be nourishing, exasperating, and occasionally divine. When Kelly Corrigan was in high school, her mother neatly summarized the family dynamic as Your fathers the glitter but Im the glue. This meant nothing to Kelly, who left childhood sure that her momwith her inviolable commandments and proud stoicismwould be nothing more than background chatter for the rest of Kellys life, which she was carefully orienting toward adventure. After college, armed with a backpack, her personal mission statement, and a wad of travelers checks, she took off for Australia to see things and do things and Become Interesting. But it didnt turn out the way she pictured it. In a matter of months, her savings shot, she had a choice: get a job or go home. Thats how Kelly met John Tanner, a newly widowed father of two looking for a live-in nanny. They chatted for an hour, discussed timing and pay, and a week later, Kelly moved in. And there, in that house in a suburb north of Sydney, 10,000 miles from the house where she was raised, her mothers voice was suddenly everywhere, nudging and advising, cautioning and directing, escorting her through a terrain as foreign as any she had ever trekked. Every day she spent with the Tanner kids was a day spent reconsidering her relationship with her mother, turning it over in her hands like a shell, straining to hear whatever messages might be trapped in its spiral. This is a book about the difference between travel and life experience, stepping out and stepping up, fathers and mothers. But mostly its about who you admire and why, and how that changes over time.Praise for Glitter and Glue I loved this book, I was moved by this book, and now I will share this book with my own motheralong with my renewed appreciation for certain debts of love that can never be repaid.Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, LoveKelly Corrigans thoughtful and beautifully rendered meditation invites readers to reflect on their own launchings and homecomings. I accepted the invitation and learned things about myself. You will, too. Isnt that why we read?Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of We Are WaterKelly Corrigan is no stranger to mining the depths of her heart. . . . Through her own experience of caring for children, she begins, for the first time, to appreciate the complex woman who raised her.O: The Oprah Magazine Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
