Rachel Aviv explores the complexity of this relationship in seven essays, six originally published in \n\u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and reconceived for this intimate, revelatory book. \"I wrote some of these stories feeling, existentially, like a daughter, and now I have returned to them with a different identification,\" Aviv writes. \"It was as if I had failed to see the drama on the mother's side, too--her particular longings and humiliations and needs.\" \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAviv 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. \n\u003ci\u003eYou Won't Get Free of It\u003c\/i\u003e is an astonishing exploration of the competing dynamics of knowing and unknowing, recognition and refusal, that shape our most foundational relationship. Illuminating ineffable registers of experience, Aviv reckons with the way that disowned knowledge forms and deforms families and lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e 05\/15\/2026 (EAN 9780525657057, Hardcover) - *Starred Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 05\/04\/2026 (EAN 9780525657057, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eBooklist\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/01\/2026 (EAN 9780525657057, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51496233337110,"sku":"9780525657057","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9910\/8886\/files\/9780525657057.jpg?v=1783057818","url":"https:\/\/lusper.myshopify.com\/products\/you-wont-get-free-of-it-stories-of-mothers-and-daughters","provider":"Lusperbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
