Summary:
Adrienne hat eine umwerfende, strahlende Mutter, die der Mittelpunkt einer jeden Gesellschaft ist. Schon ihr Name Malabar strömt reine Exotik aus. Doch Malabar ist auch eine große Egozentrikerin, und als sie sich in den besten Freund ihres Mannes verliebt, macht sie ihre Tochter zu ihrer engsten Vertrauten und stellt auf diese Weise das Mutter-Tochter-Verhältnis auf den Kopf. Bald schon lebt Adrienne ganz für die aufregende Liebesgeschichte ihrer Mutter, statt ihre eigene Jugend auszukosten. Erst als erwachsene Frau ist sie in der Lage, die Mechanismen zu erkennen, die ihr Leben geprägt haben. Und es gelingt ihr, sich mit ihrer Mutter auszusöhnen, die ihr die Jugend gestohlen hat."
A daughter's tale of living in the thrall of her magnetic, complicated mother, and the chilling consequences of her complicity. On a hot July night on Cape Cod when Adrienne was fourteen, her mother, Malabar, woke her at midnight with five simple words that would set the course of both of their lives for years to come: Ben Souther just kissed me. Adrienne instantly became her mother's confidante and helpmate, blossoming in the sudden light of her attention, and from then on, Malabar came to rely on her daughter to help orchestrate what would become an epic affair with her husband's closest friend. The affair would have calamitous consequences for everyone involved, impacting Adrienne's life in profound ways, driving her into a precarious marriage of her own, and then into a deep depression. Only years later will she find the strength to embrace her life--and her mother--on her own terms. Wild Game is a brilliant, timeless memoir about how the people close to us can break our hearts simply because they have access to them, and the lies we tell in order to justify the choices we make. It's a remarkable story of resilience, a reminder that we need not be the parents our parents were to us.
