Quotes

  • ...Ambivalence in a mother is too dangerous for the culture to integrate...
  • ...The myths around maternal love and certitude have been, and are being, questioned in literature, and it’s no secret that mother-daughter relationships can be fraught and full of conflict, but somehow the conversation still elicits discomfort...
  • ... My understanding of memory, time and duration (which are central themes in the novel) are also completely grounded in my study of art history...
  • ...Even if you have a relatively good relationship with your mother, the maternal complex is so deep-seated in the psyche, any kind of conflict or difficulty with the mother can lead to a fragmentation of one’s own self...
  • ...Motherhood is such a large, expansive word – it almost means nothing...
  • ...The more I grow into being a mother, I realise that so much about it has been about tradition, fear, family, pressure – probably a kind of narcissism...
