Description
In this beautifully written story, the author pays tribute to his mother, Bertha. This great black lady with exemplary energy and generosity, "in love with love", has just died. Rodney, her eldest son, tells of their blue childhood in their native country, their path of exile, she in New York, he in Montreal. The son talks with his mother. He is the one who grew up under the dictatorship, who dreamed of being a writer and who manages to put words to anger, pain, joy, courage and love. She is the mother who carries the memory of the "rotten country" and the light of hope. Bertha's words, poignant and beautiful, make the music and dignity of this art of being a mother heard.
