{"product_id":"mothers-and-sons-a-memoir","title":"Mothers and Sons: A Memoir","description":"A Best Book of 2024 by The New Yorker\n\nAn aging writer’s love letter to his elderly mother, this achingly beautiful work of autofiction traces their family’s history in Greece and in exile.\n\nTheodor Kallifatides, an acclaimed Greek author exiled in Sweden for more than 4 decades at age 68, visits his 92-year-old mother, who still resides in Athens. Both know that this may be one of their last encounters before her death. During the week they spend together, they reminisce about the most important things in their lives, including the presence and absence of Theodor’s father, whose life story he is reading. There, his father explains his difficult journey, from his origins as a Greek exile in Turkey through his months in a Nazi prison, and his passion for teaching.\n\nAll this reveals the history of a family through the 20th century. But Kallifatides’s book is above all a wonderful tribute to the love of his mother, depicted in an unforgettable way, while conveying a universal truth about the importance of our mothers.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1635423007\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1635423007.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Delargy, Marlaine|Kallifatides, Theodor\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
