pickFirst book in 2026.
The narrator is the mother of a 4-month-old baby&an artist.On a hot summer day in 1998, she leaves New York City alone with her son to spend a few days in the countryside.We learn that she&her husband have grown apart:he recently lost his mother&the baby needs all their attention.As soon as they arrive,mother&son set off on a hike&as the narrator loses herself in memories,colors,nature&famous paintings, she also loses her way.
Anna40 Heffernan‘s artwork is breathtakingly beautiful&the story very moving. It‘s not original, in fact a lot of it I‘ve heard & read before but it‘s the way her art becomes one with the story she tells that makes it stand out, makes it unique. I fully agree with Roz Chast: I love it. My words cannot do it justice. #trigger ⚠️ rape 1w
