Open LibraryAbout this book
Vivian Gornick's brave and deeply moving memoir is a tour de force, a book that dissects one of life's most complex, maddening and closely entwined alliances - the relationship between mother and daughter. Heralded as a landmark in American autobiography, *Fierce Attachments* probes the intimate, sometimes destructive family passions that can shape a woman's childhood - and change her life forever.
