Oh Dear Silvia

Meer over het boek

After a life-altering fall, Silvia Shute lies unconscious in a hospital, prompting her eclectic circle of friends and family to reflect on her complex identity. Each visitor—her ex-husband, independent daughter, West Indian nurse, bohemian sister, best friend, and enthusiastic housekeeper—reveals their perceptions of Silvia, portraying her as a flawed mother, cherished sister, and self-centered lover. Through their candid thoughts, the narrative explores themes of self-perception, relationships, and the impact of one woman's life on those around her.
