<p><b>Real-life stories of mothers and daughters - of what we inherit, what we bury and what we, finally, find the courage to say - by the award-winning <i>New Yorker</i> staff writer.</b></p><p>'She is simply brilliant' <b>Anne Enright</b><br>'A beautiful, thoughtful and probing writer' <b>Daisy Johnson</b></p><p><i>You Won't Get Free of It </i>tells the stories of mothers and daughters searching for each other and for themselves. Aviv explores the complexity of this relationship in seven essays, six originally published in the <i>New Yorker</i> and reconceived for this intimate, revelatory book.</p><p>Aviv writes about one mother searching for her vanished daughter; another who sacrifices herself for her daughters by working as a nanny for other people's children. In the final story, a daughter's traumatic experience is erased by her family, only to be recast by her mother, the writer Alice Munro, in stories celebrated around the world.</p><p><i>You Won't Get Free of It </i>is an astonishing exploration of the competing dynamics of knowing and unknowing, recognition and refusal, that shape our most foundational relationship.</p><p><b>PRAISE FOR <i>STRANGERS TO OURSELVES</i></b></p><p>'An arresting work of profound empathy and insight' <b>Patrick Radden Keefe</b><br>'Combines the poise of Janet Malcolm and the confessional bravery of Joan Didion' <i><b>Vogue</b></i><br>'Profoundly intelligent' <i><b>Guardian</b></i></p>
