With uncanny depth of perception, Aviv explores the complexity of this relationship in seven essays, six originally published in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and reconceived for this intimate, revelatory book. \"I wrote some of these stories feeling, existentially, like a daughter, and now I have returned to them with a different identification,\" Aviv writes. \"It was as if I had failed to see the drama that was on the mother's side, too--her particular longings and humiliations and needs.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Aviv writes about one mother searching for her vanished daughter; another who sacrifices herself for her daughters by working as a nanny for other people's children. In the final story, a daughter's traumatic experience is erased by her family, only to be recast by her mother--the writer Alice Munro--in stories celebrated around the world. \u003ci\u003eYou Won't Get Free of It\u003c\/i\u003e is an astonishing exploration of the competing dynamics of knowing and unknowing, recognition and refusal, that shape our most foundational relationship. Illuminating ineffable registers of human experience, Aviv asks piercing questions about how disowned knowledge forms and deforms families and lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Aviv\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0525657053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525657057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.13w x 0.97d","brand":"Rachel Aviv","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47761142612223,"sku":"9780525657057","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aeb36a71-a9c5-488a-a291-f1adda9441c5.jpg?v=1765514591","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/you-wont-get-free-of-rachel-aviv-9780525657057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
