In 1963, thousands flooded the Lincoln Memorial for Martin Luther King's March on DC. Five miles away, Ellen's father handed rifles to his children. Three months later, Ellen ran home from school to find her father celebrating President Kennedy's assignation. Four years later, her father was dead, and she couldn't understand why the police were charging her mother with his murder. After all, wasn't it clear her father left no choice: someone was eventually going to die, and at least it wasn't her or one of her brothers or sisters. Ellen, however, was never prepared for the mother she knew and loved to die along with her father. Afterwards, very little remained of the college graduate, the accomplished pianist, and the self-confident woman marine who had once appeared in the pages of Life magazine. This is the story of Ellen's journey to recapture that other woman - the beloved mother she lost on that painful day.

This collection started as a whisper, a quiet mouth asking questions. Over the years it became a coherent voice that kept getting louder. Now it is a song, sprung from a yearning to fill in the missing parts, to understand my mother's story. Perhaps it's something that goes beyond what is experiential and real and moves into memory and imagination. Perhaps it is a book of magic, of synchronicity and colliding moments in time, too strange to be logical, too concise to be chance. Ultimately, it's a way of shedding light, in order to change the direction of a past. Sometimes, I think it has been formed by my imagined daughter, clearing the way ahead before her own birth. Or by whole generations of women, celebrating a future, formed from the heart of us.

Shortly after Albert Cohen left France for London to escape the Nazis, he received news of his mother’s death in Marseille. Unable to mourn her, he expressed his grief in a series of moving pieces for La France libre, which later grew into Book of My Mother. Achingly honest, intimate, and moving, this love song is a tribute to all mothers. Cohen himself expressed, "I shall not have written in vain if one of you, after reading my hymn of death, is one evening gentler with his mother because of me and my mother."

First published in France in 2013, My Mother Laughs is the final book written by the legendary and beloved Belgian artist and director Chantal Akerman (1950-2015) before her death. A moving and unforgettable memoir, the book delves deeply into one of the central themes and focuses of Akerman's often autobiographical films: her mother, who was the direct subject of her final film No Home Movie (2015). With a particular focus on the difficulties Akerman faced in conjunction with the end of her mother's life, the book combines a matter-of-fact writing style with family photographs and stills from her own films in order to better convey the totality of her experience. Akerman writes: "With pride because I believed at last in my ability to say something that I'd had trouble saying. I told myself, I am strong for once, I speak. I speak the truth."
