Summary:
It's 1960, and Elizabeth has a
good
life. A husband who takes care of her, two healthy children, a farm in the Forties Settlement. But Elizabeth is slowly coming apart, her reality splintering. She knows she will harm her children, wants to harm her children, wants to be stopped from harming her children. She doesn'
t
sleep, becomes incoherent. Elizabeth is taken away. We rejoin her in 1975, "well" once again, living in a group home and desperately trying to fill in the enormous gaps electric shock therapy has left in her memory. She remembers five words from her past and knows they are significant, but their meaning is slippery and she can'
t
grasp more. She knows that Jewel and Jacob are her children, though she can'
t
picture their faces, and more than anything, she longs to find them and explain that she never meant to leave for so long.
Genre:
Domestic fiction.
