Murphy writes with clear-eyed compassion about her mother's complexity and her own resilience, refusing easy villains or tidy resolutions. Moments of rupture-sexual trauma, marriage, motherhood, and the slow decline of her mother's mind-become spaces for reckoning rather than closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith lyrical restraint and emotional precision, Unmothered examines what it means to grieve the mother you had, the one you didn't, and the self you became in her absence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kestrel House Pres","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47592958427287,"sku":"9798218928704","price":1671.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798218928704.webp?v=1774980051","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/unmothered-9798218928704","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
