520    "A memoir of mothers and daughters -- and mothers as 
       daughters -- traced through four generations, from Paris 
       to New York and back again. For a long time, Nadja 
       Spiegelman believed her mother was a fairy. More than her 
       famous father, Mauscreator Art Spiegelman, and even more 
       than most mothers, hers -- French-born New Yorker art 
       director Françoise Mouly -- exerted a force over reality 
       that was both dazzling and daunting. As Nadja's body 
       changed and "began to whisper to the adults around me in a
       language I did not understand," their relationship grew 
       tense. Unwittingly, they were replaying a drama from her 
       mother's past, a drama Nadja sensed but had never been 
       told. Then, after college, her mother suddenly opened up 
       to her. Françoise recounted her turbulent adolescence 
       caught between a volatile mother and a playboy father, one
       of the first plastic surgeons in France. The weight of the
       difficult stories she told her daughter shifted the 
       balance between them. It had taken an ocean to allow 
       Françoise the distance to become her own person. At about 
       the same age, Nadja made the journey in reverse, moving to
       Paris determined to get to know the woman her mother had 
       fled. Her grandmother's memories contradicted her mother's
       at nearly every turn, but beneath them lay a difficult 
       history of her own. Nadja emerged with a deeper 
       understanding of how each generation reshapes the past in 
       order to forge ahead, their narratives both weapon and 
       defense, eternally in conflict. Every reader will 
       recognize herself and her family in this gorgeous and 
       heartbreaking memoir, which helps us to see why sometimes 
       those who love us best hurt us most"--|cProvided by
