ELEPHANT IN THE SKY: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 00110913B65991
English Summary/英文概要： The stigma of mental illness and the power of a mother’s love come together in this achingly honest novel
WIDELY ACCLAIMED FOR her ability to tell emotionally powerful stories that capture the real lives of women, bestselling novelist Heather A. Clark tackles the subject of childhood mental disorders. Elephant in the Sky is told from both nineyear- old Nate’s point of view and that of his mother, Ashley, an overworked ad executive who struggles with a demanding workload and the worry that she’s not spending enough time with her family — especially as her son’s battle with mental unbalance and paranoid delusions escalates. The two narratives converge in a deeply moving tale of a family dealing with mental illness.
Elephant in the Sky is a story about unconditional love, and it articulates a complicated, real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity. It looks at what it means to be different in our
society and beautifully explores the distance a mother will go to protect her child.
