Review:
Every ingredient of this memoir makes it as powerful as a dark fairy tale drenched in archetype, with the "mad mother" character at the story's core. As a housewife, Dolores is meek and compliant, but when overtaken by her manic-depressive illness, she's flamboyant and vengeful. Also included in the cast of characters are the controlling stepfather, the tiny-but-tough Irish grandmother with a penchant for drama, and two sisters. In this vivid remembrance, National Public Radio's Jacki Lyden looks boldly and candidly at the facts--both hilarious and maddening-- of her mother's illness and its effect on her family. Daughter of the Queen of Sheba traverses the rough terrain of an exceptionally difficult childhood to land solidly on the ground of adult accomplishments and accolades. With each page, the heart aches, the senses dance, and the mind applauds Lyden's stunning insights.
