Описание книги

• Museum of Stones links a mother’s past and present in a dizzying narrative as she raises an unusual son. • The unnamed narrator carries the name of every mother who has stared into the face of her newborn, having no idea of what is about to unfold. • Everything in the narrator’s life is refracted against this singular event, often giving way to memories at a dizzying speed. The interconnections of time, place and emotion flood her thoughts as she moves through her daily routines. All of it relates back to the moment of him.

I lose my footing and slip waist deep into the freezing water. He helps me over the moss-laden rocks as the cold creeps upward, numbing my legs. He doesn’t hear when I ask if we can leave, my voice faint against the breaking of the waves.

I sprawl across the back car seat’s stained fabric, rife with the odor of my father-in-law’s cigar smoke, a habit my husband later takes up. At night I see him on the deck, the red burning tip of his cigar, as the half-arc of light travels from his hand to his mouth. He drives in silence thinking I might sleep.
