Christle has become one of our arts most urgent living practitioners Kaveh Akbar, author of Martyr!When Heather Christle realises that she, her mother, and Virginia Woolf share a traumatic history, she begins to rewrite and intertwine each of their stories, in search of a more hopeful narrative and a future she can live with.When Heather Christle realises that she, her mother, and Virginia Woolf share a traumatic history, she begins to rewrite and intertwine each of their stories, in search of a more hopeful narrative and a future she can live with.On a recent visit to Londons Kew Gardens, Christles mother revealed details of a painful story from her past that took place there, under circumstances that strangely paralleled Heathers own sexual assault during a visit to London as a teenager.Her private, British mothers revelation - a rare burst of vulnerability in their strained relationship - propels Christle down a deep and destabilising rabbit hole of investigation, as she both reads and wanders the streets of her mothers past, peeling back the layers of family mythologies, Englands sanctioned historical narratives, and her own buried memories. Over the course of several trips to London, with and without her mother, she visits her familys birthday hill in Kew Gardens, the now-public homes of the Bloomsbury set, the archives of the British Library, and the backyard garden where Woolf wrote her final sentence. All the while, she finds that Woolf and her writings not only constantly seem to connect and overlap with her mothers story, but also that the author becomes a kind of vital intermediary: a sometimes confidante, sometimes mentor, sometimes distancing lens through which Christle can safely observe her mother and their experiences.Wide-ranging and prismatic, the fruit of an insatiably curious, delightfully brilliant mind, In the Rhododendrons is part memoir, part biography of Virginia Woolf, part reckoning with the things we cannot change and the ways we can completely transform, if we dare. This utterly original book will stir readers into new ways of seeing their own lives....4774758In the Rhododendrons397484https://www.gandhi.com.mx/in-the-rhododendrons-9781472158703/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4589904/image.jpg?v=638748673482530000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781472158703_W3siaWQiOiJiMzU5ODBmYS1lZmIwLTRkYTktYmM4My0wMjgxMWQ5Y2ZhZjUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ4NCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjg3LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjM5NywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781472158703_IN THE RHODODENDRONS is vital consolation, amidst the amidst. Its a triumph, an instant classic. Christle has become one of our arts most urgent living practitioners Kaveh Akbar, author of Martyr!In Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolfs 1925 novel of a single day in London, its from "behind the rhododendrons" that her character, Septimus Warren Smith, suffering terribly from his experiences in the First World War, hears the voices of the dead, singing. I listened and could not hear them, but imagined they must be here somewhere, along with a full chorus of my mothers past selves. I wanted to run off and find them. I wanted them to tell me the words to their songOn a family visit to Londons Kew Gardens in 2018, Heather Christles mother points out the alleyway where she was assaulted as a child. Unable to reach across time to protect the child her mother was, Christle begins to explore how Englands past interconnects with her mothers and her own.Her three-part narrative traipses through histories vast and intimate, from the death of Elizabeth II to the British Museums failure to repatriate stolen artifacts, and engages with writers ranging from Jamaica Kincaid to the ever-present Virginia Woolf who herself resided not far from Kew for a time. The result is a braided enquiry into the past, via travelogue, biography, horticulture, and literary and cultural critique. In the Rhododendrons is a feat of literary memoir by a dazzingly talented writer....(*_*)9781472158703_IN THE RHODODENDRONS is vital consolation, amidst the amidst. Its a triumph, an instant classic.

Over the course of several trips to London, with and without her mother, she visits her familys birthday hill in Kew Gardens, the tourist-ified homes of the Bloomsbury set, the archives of the British Library, and the backyard garden where Woolf wrote her final sentence. All the while, she finds that Virginia Woolf - both famously depressed in life and exuberant on the page - and her writings constantly seem to connect and overlap with her mothers story.
