The Mistresses Daughter
by A.M. Homes
Here is a personal account by a well known novelist and her experience with her real father and mother and her obsession to find out more about them. It is her autobiography. She is clearly revealing in her personal experience, her deep feelings and reactions. I thought many times about how she had the last word in a revenge as to how she was treated by others - her family. Her father was a complete jerk, his wife too. This is the wife who had no cause to even meet this daughter, a daughter as a result of her husband's affair with a much younger woman, a young woman who was in the employ of this man. What a cruel and selfish man. More than a autobiography, it is a meditation of a woman's life with the challenges of being a daughter of a mistress and man.
