Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n From the Orange Prize\u00ad\u2013winning author of A Crime in the Neighborhood comes a \u201csharply witty\u201d and \u201cimpeccably written\u201d ( Star Tribune , Minneapolis) novel featuring a therapist attempting to unlock the most difficult cases of her life\u2014those of her son and of her mother.<\/p>\n Anyone who\u2019s ever had trouble persuading a teenager or an elderly parent to \u201copen up\u201d will recognize Lorna\u2019s dilemma during the three days she finds herself alone in a remote lakeside cottage with her mutely miserable son and her impenetrable mother. Despite her training as a clinical social worker, and her arsenal of therapeutic techniques, she\u2019s resisted at every turn as she tries to understand what\u2019s made the two people most important to her go silent.<\/p>\n Though silence has always marked Lorna\u2019s family. Her father was deaf. Her mother, Marika, abandoned Lorna and her brother when they were children. No explanation was ever offered. Nor why Marika resurfaced eighteen years ago to invite Lorna and her infant son, Adam, to Vermont for a strained reunion. A relationship, of sorts, has followed\u2014an annual Thanksgiving visit, during which Marika sits taciturnly among the guests at Lorna\u2019s table, agreeing only to \u201cbe seen to exist.\u201d<\/p>\n But now it\u2019s Adam who won\u2019t talk. Home from college and suffering over something he won\u2019t disclose, he\u2019s so depressed that he refers to himself as \u201cA\u201d for \u201cAnti-Matter.\u201d So, when she\u2019s summoned to Vermont because Marika has had a fall, Lorna sees an opportunity to get Adam out of the house and maybe also a chance to finally connect with her mother. What she never anticipated was that grandson and grandmother would form a bond, and leave her out of it.<\/p>\n How do you care for people you can\u2019t understand, and who don\u2019t want to be understood?<\/p>\n Suspenseful, poignantly funny, and beautifully incisive, The Blue Window explores the ways people misperceive each other, and how secrets and silence, wielded and guarded, exert their power over families\u2014and what luminous, frightening, and tender possibilities might come forth, once those secrets are challenged.<\/p>\n \u201cSuzanne Berne is an elegant, psychologically astute novelist\u201d (Tom Perrotta), whose new book reveals what happens to people who hide from themselves, and the act of imagination it takes to find them..
