DAUGHTER OF THE QUEEN OF SHEBA: A MEMOIR

Book ID/图书代码： 02330006B04273

English Summary/英文概要： As an adult, National Public Radio foreign correspondent Jacki Lyden has spent her life on the front lines of some of the #151; she’s tired of hearing her relatives talk about the past. But when she opens the front door to symbolically welcome the prophet Elijah, she’s transported to a Polish village in the year 1942, where she becomes caught up in the tragedy of the time. "[Readers] will come away with a sense of tragic history that both disturbs and compels."

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 细微地捕捉了对母亲疾病的恐惧和她诱惑性的不理智，充满了眼花缭乱的无畏，作者交换了成人世界最难以捉摸的经验之谈之一：如何因其缺点而爱其父母。

作为一个成年人，全国公共广播电台驻外通讯员杰克•莉邓（Jacki Lyden）一生都在为头版头条拼搏，她厌倦了亲戚们谈论她的过去。但是她1942年转移到了波兰一小村庄，在那里她陷入了时间的悲剧。(XJJ)

Awards/获奖情况：...what distinguishes Daughter of the Queen of Sheba from any other book about dysfunctional parents ... and turns this exotic memoir into compelling literature is the dreamy poetry of Lyden’s prose. In graceful imagery as original (and occasionally as highly wrought) as her mother’s costumes, Lyden--a senior correspondent for National Public Radio--loops and loops again around the central fact of her mother’s manic depression and how that illness shaped Lyden’s life growing up with two younger sisters, a scrappy Irish grandmother (whose memory she holds like "a cotton rag around a cut"), a father who left, and a hated stepfather. ---Entertainment Weekly

In so vividly capturing both the horror of her mother’s illness and the seductive, transporting power of her insanity--its energy, its dazzling boldness--Lyden communicates one of the most elusive lessons of adulthood: how it’s possible to love a parent not just in spite of her or his flaws but also because of them. ---The New York Times Book Review, Caroline Knapp
