ISBN:  9780385684293 (hc.) Description:  251 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "A searing and hypnotic tour de force about a daughter whose life is shattered repeatedly by her charismatic father, and the redemptive power of art. To be loved by your father is to be loved by God. So says Mona Dean--playwright, actress and daughter to a man famous for one great novel, and in fruitless pursuit of the next, whose needs and insecurities exert an inescapable pull and exact an immeasurable toll on the women of his family: Mona, her sister, her half-sister, their mothers. His infidelity destroyed Mona's childhood, setting her in opposition to a cold, cruel stepmother who, though equally damaged, disdains her for being broken. Then, just as Mona is settling into her life as an adult and fledgling artist, he begins a new affair and takes her into his confidence. Mona delights--painfully, parasitically--in his attention. When he inevitably confesses to his wife, Mona is cast as the agent of disruption, punished for her father's crimes and ejected from the family. Mona's tenuous stability is thrown into chaos. It is only when she suffers an incalculable loss that proves to be far deeper and more defining than family entanglements that she can begin the work of growing true love from the shadow of absent love. Pushed to the precipice, she must decide how she wants to live, what she most needs to say and the risks she will take to say it. Claudia Dey chronicles our most intimate lives with penetrating insight and devilish humour. A novel as volatile and far-reaching as its title, Daughter is an obsessive, blazing examination of the forces that drive us to become, to create and to break free."--Provided by publisher.
