Description
Bechdel's mother was a voracious reader, a music lover, and a passionate amateur actor. But, she was also unhappily married to a closeted gay man. She stopped touching or kissing her daughter goodnight when Alison was seven. Now, Bechdel examines the mother-daughter gulf which influenced most of her life up to the day they settled on a truce.
