"Devilishly sharp... a masterful balance of psychological
excavation and sumptuous description." -Kirkus Reviews An only
child, Deborah Burns grew up in prim 1950s America in the shadow of
her beautiful, unconventional, rule-breaking mother, Dorothy-a
red-haired beauty who looked like Rita Hayworth and skirted norms
with a style and flair that made her the darling of men and women
alike. Married to the son of a renowned Italian family with ties to
the underworld, Dorothy fervently eschewed motherhood and
domesticity, turning Deborah over to her spinster aunts to raise
while she was the star of a vibrant social life. As a child,
Deborah revered her charismatic mother, but Dorothy was a woman
full of secrets with a troubled past-a mistress of illusion whose
love seemed just out of her daughter's grasp. In vivid, lyrical
prose, Saturday's Child tells the story of Deborah's eccentric
upbringing and her quest in midlife, long after her parents' death,
to uncover the truth about her mother and their complex
relationship. No longer under the spell of her maternal goddess,
but still caught in a wrenching cycle of love and longing, Deborah
must finally confront the reality of her mother's legacy-and
finally claim her own.
