It was previously owned by my mother and was in my inherited library. I didn't care for it. The language was shocking for 1966, but I understand Brian Moore was known for that. That didn't bother me, but the plot was thin (if there was one at all), and the ramblings of Mary-Maria-Mutt were nonsensical and hard to follow. I couldn't figure out if the protagonist had mental problems or if the author was saying that all women who marry multiple times and enjoy sex are airheads. Not sure, and not sure I care.

Who am I any more? All these names, who am I? After three marriages and four last names, Mary, a neurotic woman in her thirties, finds herself struggling to remember her own name and losing her sense of self. But what she does want to forget, she is condemned to remember - the last days of her relationship with Hat Bell, her depressive, alcoholic second husband, and her sense of responsibility for his death. As friends from the past resurface, these unwanted memories return full force and Mary finds herself desperately battling her inner torment. A powerful portrait of a woman struggling to reaffirm her sense of self, I am Mary Dunne is a compelling exploration of neurosis and obsessive love. 'An extraordinary piece of feminine characterisation' Sunday Times 'I can think of no other living male novelist who writes about women with such sympathy and understanding' Times Literary Supplement 'As complex and satisfying as anything Moore has yet done' Observer 'One of the truest and most awesome books I have ever read' Scotsman Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |
