"What happens if a mother loves her child too much?" "Sybil and Marty, indifferent to their daughter in life, left her a small fortune and the cryptic advice, "It would do well to find a passion." In Victoria Redel's new novel, we listen to the voice of this daughter as she willfully sets out to become a mother - who is nothing if not passionate.".
"She has named her son Paul, but calls him "Birdie," "Cookie," "Puppy," Loverboy," as she creates a wonderful, magical world for two, a world filled with books, music, endless games, and bottomless devotion. "Has ever a mother loved a child more?" she wonders as they play spy on the strangers from behind their heavy, lace curtains. But as life outside begins to beckon to the boy, the mother's efforts to keep their small world confined become increasingly frantic and ultimately tragic."--BOOK JACKET.
