| 520 | |a When Heti's mother, Ana, dies, she leaves behind a spotless affectionate parent, modern career woman, and life of the party. Heti moves in a daze until her grief is upended by the arrival of an unmarked package containing photographs of Ana as a young woman--robed, standing in front of a burning building, and pointing a gun at a group of sobbing women. Female Life on Planet Earth follows Heti as she raises teenage daughters, keeps up with client accounts, sits in LA traffic, and prepares to host the traditional anniversary memorial--all while quietly reeling with the violent secrets of the woman she thought she knew. Though the dead can't answer her questions, the living never seem to shut up. Heti is buoyed as she listens to the women who populate her hilarious aunts and cousins, aggressive soccer moms, business associates, dear friends, and total strangers. Inside these surprising, uproarious stories of female life, Heti discovers the selves women hide away, selves defiantly in search of pleasure, autonomy, delight, and connection. Heti begins to understand the complex and contradictory possibilities that exist inside every woman--including her mother, including herself. As the one-year mark of Ana's death arrives, Heti calls together the women who knew her and asks Who was my mother, truly? And who are we? | ||
