In Radiant Daughter, awardwinning novelist Patricia Grossman followsa CzechAmerican family for twentyseven years, beginning in suburbanChicago in 1969 and ending in Brooklyn, in seaside Little Odessa,in 1996. Though the novel begins as a traditional assimilation storyimmigrant parents, native children, and the conflicts one might expectit evolves into a highly particular and harrowing tale surroundingthe descent of Elise Blazek, the familys brightest star. Radiant Daughteris also a story of translationbetween generations, from the Czech ofIrena and Stepan, to the American of the children, and finally to theRussian that is Elises academic specialty.Radiant Daughter explores all that is human, from the most selfdestructive behavior to the highest forms of commitment and selfsacrifice. Even at her lowest moments, Irena never loses her fiercelove for the daughter who has traveled so utterly beyond her reach.For Elise, the future will always be complicated: a precarious balancebetween periods of insight, bursts of accomplishment, and the abyssof her illness.Reminiscent, on the one hand, of the meticulously constructedmotherdaughter dynamic in Carol Shieldss Unless and, on the other,of the anarchic reallife experience of Big and Little Edie Beale in GreyGardens, Grossmans moving narrative breaks new ground in exploringa dangerous turn in the complex bond between a mother and her adultchild.
