In Mothercare, Tillman describes doing what seems impossible: handling her mother as if she were a child and coping with a longtime ambivalence toward her. In Tillman's celebrated style and as a rich noticer of strange things (Colm Toibin), she describes, without flinching, the unexpected, heartbreaking, and anxious eleven years of caring for a sick parent. Mothercare is both a cautionary tale and sympathetic guidance for anyone who suddenly becomes a caregiver. This story may be helpful, informative, consoling, or upsetting, but it never fails to underscore how impossible it is to get the job done completely right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 128 x 198 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781913512279\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lynne Tillman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44133495374074,"sku":"9781913512279","price":7.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1679666393713_book.jpg?v=1680101935","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/mothercare-9781913512279","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
