Black and White

This spellbinding novel about art, fame, ambition, and family explores a provocative question: Is it possible for a mother to be true to herself and true to her children at the same time? This brilliant examination of motherhood---a novel that pits artistic inspiration against maternal obligation and asks whether the two can ever be fully reconciled---explores the limits and duties of family loyalties, and even of love. Gripping, haunting, and psychologically complex.
