Beschreibung
A Lit Hub. and Observer. "Need to Read" Novel of the Summer. Unearthed after half a century, this radical portrait of a woman who leaves her family to live alone in a woodland cabin will pierce the heart of anybody who has ever wanted to escape. I swear I loved them all, and I did the best I could. And then I left them, left all of it. Abra is a wife and mother living a suburban dream-until one day, she walks away. In a woodland cabin, her new life alone begins. There are no mirrors, no clocks, no memories: just the squirrels breathing in the forest, and the silence of vegetables growing. Years later, a young woman arrives, and the past-flashes begin. Daughter. A strange word. Is this her. And what will this mean. Gaining Ground. , originally published as Abra. in North America, is a both a radical meditation on living on your own terms and an exquisite work of art. It calls to anybody who has ever wanted to escape-who has asked what it costs to be wild, to be sane, to be free.
