A desperate menopausal woman begins to have strange dreams-of Virgin Marys, tigers, cows, Rosa Luxemburg, Marilyn Monroe, Benito Mussolini's mother-from which she wakes up every night at exactly 4:30. To interpret her nocturnal life, she seeks out meetings with the women of her family: her daughter, her sister, and her mother. And while the conversations start unravelling the tangle of their shared life, the dreams suddenly stop. She then turns to other women, from Eleni Topaloudi's mother to a ten-year-old Afghan girl who was suddenly separated from her mother. And armies of women begin to ma...
A desperate menopausal woman begins to have strange dreams-of Virgin Marys, tigers, cows, Rosa Luxemburg, Marilyn Monroe, Benito Mussolini's mother-from which she wakes up every night at exactly 4:30. To interpret her nocturnal life, she seeks out meetings with the women of her family: her daughter, her sister, and her mother. And while the conversations start unravelling the tangle of their shared life, the dreams suddenly stop. She then turns to other women, from Eleni Topaloudi's mother to a ten-year-old Afghan girl who was suddenly separated from her mother. And armies of women begin to march by, giving birth, adopting, taking care or refusing to do so. As their confessions accumulate and are interspersed with quizzes, board games, fairy tales, etymology, zoology and RE lessons, their experiences become encased within one another, like babies in their mothers' bellies. In "The Long Journey of One Within Another," motherhood becomes a malleable concept, a radical case of freedom and reconciliation - a giant umbilical cord that connects and nourishes all the women who have been their mother's daughters, their daughter's mothers. But also their mother's mothers, their daughter's daughters. A thread that nourishes all men: because, as the heroine says, "the world will only change if men read about women's lives with the same naturalness that women have always read about men's lives."
