The Chronology of Water

A Memoir

De: Lidia Yuknavitch

Narrado por: Lidia Yuknavitch

This is not your mother's memoir. In The Chronology of Water, Lidia Yuknavitch expertly moves the listener through issues of gender, sexuality, violence, and the family from the point of view of a lifelong swimmer turned artist. In writing that explores the nature of memoir itself, her story traces the effect of extreme grief on a young woman's developing sexuality that some define as
untraditional because of her attraction to both men and women. Her emergence as a writer evolves at the same time and takes the narrator on a journey of addiction, self-destruction, and ultimately survival that finally comes in the shape of love and motherhood.

Bold and provocative.

Brave and extreme writing. The language is harsh and full of sexual content, yet the story was real and touching! Reader needs an open mind.
