For three and a half years, calamities hit Elizabeth Knox and family in rapid succession. Her sister suffered a psychotic break and was hospitalised against her will, her husband’s brother died by violence, and her mother was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
In time, she was able to write about it
Night, Ma is a book about the net of family which people are held by, but also slip through. About the actual daily work of love; the physical and cognitive work love requires.
Knox is a beloved storyteller who has given us other worlds; now she invites us into her own. With characteristic generosity and transcendence, she guides us through time,
illness, loss, and the loneliness of unutterable experiences.
Night, Ma offers the gift of seeing as Elizabeth sees.
