«Tierra madre» is the novel by Paul Theroux published by Alfaguara in 2018 in paperback, in Spanish.
Set in Cape Cod, it portrays a domineering mother who sows discord between her husband and her seven children. Each one sees her in their own way: Angela, the favourite daughter who died in childbirth, idealises her; JP, the narrator and successful writer, suffers her tyranny. An incisive look at maternal narcissism and the bonds that unite a large family.
Work originally published as Mother Land, within the collection Narrativa Internacional.
For readers of contemporary and literary fiction interested in family portraits with acid humour.
