Elisabeth's Daughter

Więcej o książce

Katarina Elg is young and free. She adores falling in love, but lasting closeness frightens her and she cannot accept being tied down. Independence is more precious than anything else. Then Katarina becomes pregnant and decides, surprisingly perhaps, to keep the baby. Her mother, Elisabeth, is supportive, but her lover reacts violently, beating her because he thinks her is pregnancy no accident and that she is trying to trap him. Katarina remembers her childhood, how she watched her mother being systematically abused, and feels that her experience is part of a pattern. These thoughts lead her to approach her mother, and the two women open up to each other as the past is confronted and explored.
