From the critically acclaimed author of This Burns My Heart comes a âluminous mother-daughter sagaâ (Entertainment Weekly) about a young woman who is forced to flee 1980s Brazil for California, and in doing so unearths the hidden life of her enigmatic mother.
Mara Alencarâs mother Ana is her moon, her sun, her stars. Ana, a struggling voice-over actress, is an admirably brave and recklessly impulsive woman who does everything in her power to care for her little girl in perilous 1980s Rio de Janeiro. With no other family or friends her own age, Ana eclipses Maraâs entire world. They take turns caring for each otherâin ways big and small.
But who is Ana, really? As she grows older, Mara slowly begins to piece together the many facets of Anaâs complicated lifeâa mother, a rebel, and always, an actress. When Ana becomes involved with a civilian rebel group attempting to undermine the cityâs cruel Police Chief, their fragile arrangement begins to unravel. Mara is forced to flee the only home sheâs ever known, for California, where she lives as an undocumented immigrant, caregiving for a dying woman. Itâs here that she begins to grapple with her turbulent past and starts to uncover vital truthsâabout her mother, herself, and what it means to truly take care of someone.
A âlovely and heartbreakingâ (People) story that is âsimultaneously dreamlike and visceralâ (The Atlantic), The Caregiver is âa beautiful testament to Samuel Parkâs extraordinary talents as a storytellerâĶthat reads, in some moments, like a thrillerâand, in others, like a meditation on what it means to be aliveâĶA ferocious page-turner with deep wells of compassion for the struggles of the livingâand the sins of the deadâ (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
