- Summary
- Chris Power<U+2019>s stories are peopled by men and women who find themselves at crossroads or dead ends -- characters who search without knowing what they seek. Their paths lead them to thresholds, bridges, rivers, and sites of mysterious, irresistible connection to the past. A woman uses her mother<U+2019>s old travel guide, aged years beyond relevance, to navigate on a journey to nowhere; a stand-up comic with writer<U+2019>s block performs a fateful gig at a cocaine-fueled bachelor party; on holiday in Greece, a father must confront the limits to which he can keep his daughters safe. Braided throughout is the story of Eva, a daughter, wife, and mother, whose search for a self and place of belonging tracks a devastating path through generations. Ranging from remote English moors to an ancient Swedish burial ground to a hedonistic Mexican wedding, the stories in Mothers lay bare the emotional and psychic damage of life, love, and abandonment. Suffused with yearning, Power<U+2019>s transcendent prose expresses a profound ache for vanished pasts and uncertain futures
