The Doll

AuthorIsmail Kadare
Rating
Price1646

At the centre of young Ismailâ€™s world is the unknowable figure of his mother. NaÃ¯ve and fragile as a paper doll, she is an unlikely presence in her husbandâ€™s great stone house, with its hidden rooms and infamous dungeon, and is constantly at odds with her wise and thin-lipped mother-in-law. But despite her lightness and unchanging youthful nature, she is not without her own enigmas.Most of all, she fears that her intellectual son â€“ who uses words she doesnâ€™t understand, publishes radical poetry, falls in love freely and seems to be renouncing everything she embodies of the old world â€“ will have to exchange her for a superior mother when he becomes a famous writer.Dedicated to the memory of his mother and circling back to his childhood in Albania, The Doll is Ismail Kadareâ€™s delicate and disarming tale of home and creative longing, of writerly aspiration, and of personal and political freedom.
