Night Waking
Историку Анне Беннетт предстоит написать книгу. У нее также есть малыш, страдающий бессонницей, не по годам развитый семилетний ребенок, одержимый идеей смерти, и часто отсутствующий муж-эколог, который привез их всех на Колси, пустынный остров на Гебридах, чтобы он мог сосчитать тупиков. Жестоко лишенную сна, разрывающуюся между материнством и стремлением к удовольствиям работы и одиночества, Анну преследует мысль об обнаружении скелета ребенка в саду их дома.
Ночное пробуждение Сары Мосс - это трогательная, но порой и мрачно смешная истории о материнской амбивалентности, о том, как мы пытаемся контролировать детей, и о раздосадованных и страстных отношениях женщин с работой.
Книга на английском языке.
Historian Anna Bennett has a book to write. She also has an insomniac toddler, a precocious, death-obsessed seven-year-old, and a frequently absent ecologist husband who has brought them all to Colsay, a desolate island in the Hebrides, so he can count the puffins. Ferociously sleep-deprived, torn between mothering and her desire for the pleasures of work and solitude, Anna becomes haunted by the discovery of a baby's skeleton in the garden of their house. Her narrative is punctuated by letters home, written 200 years before, by May, a young, middle-class midwife desperately trying to introduce modern medicine to the suspicious, insular islanders. The lives of these two characters intersect unexpectedly in this deeply moving but also at times blackly funny story about maternal ambivalence, the way we try to control children, and about women's vexed and passionate relationship with work. Moss's second novel displays an exciting expansion of her range - showing her to be both an excellent comic writer and a novelist of great emotional depth.
