Actress

Autor Anne Enright
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iun 2021
`Written with all the ingenuity and twisty tautness of a thriller¿ The Times

From the Booker-winning Irish author, a brilliant and moving novel about fame, sexual power, and a daughter¿s search to understand her mother¿s hidden truths.

This is the story of Irish theatre legend Katherine O¿Dell, as told by her daughter Norah. It tells of early stardom in Hollywood, of highs and lows on the stages of Dublin and London¿s West End. Katherine¿s life is a grand performance, with young Norah watching from the wings.

But this romance between mother and daughter cannot survive Katherine¿s past, or the world¿s damage. As Norah uncovers her mother¿s secrets, she acquires a few of her own. Then, fame turns to infamy when Katherine decides to commit a bizarre crime.

Actress is about a daughter¿s search for the truth: the dark secret in the bright star, and what drove Katherine finally mad . . .

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Katherine O'Dell is an Irish theater legend. Every moment of her life is a performance, with her daughter, Norah, standing in the wings. With age, alcohol, and dimming stardom, however, Katherine's grip on reality grows fitful. Fueled by a proud and long-simmering rage, she commits a bizarre crime.
As Norah's role gradually changes to Katherine's protector, caregiver, and finally legacy-keeper, she revisits her mother's life of fiercely kept secrets; and Norah confronts in turn the secrets of her own sexual and emotional coming-of-age. With virtuosic storytelling, Actress weaves together two generations of women with difficult sexual histories, touching a raw and timely nerve.
