About this product
Product Information
When pregnant Esther--a young, adventurous, British-born Israeli--follows her new husband, Steve, to America, she has no idea what she's getting herself into. Even before their baby is born, Esther discovers the dark side of her charming film production manager husband, and learns that she must cope with his moodiness and domineering personality. Left alone day after day in a high-rise apartment in Queens, Esther struggles with culture shock, homesickness, and adapting her husband's whims--like the baby goat he brings home to their eighth-floor apartment to keep as a pet.Ten years and two more children later, thirty-four-year-old Steve is diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Despite aggressive treatments, he succumbs to the disease, leaving Esther to care for their three children alone, Esther at first feels lost and bewildered; as time goes on, however, she discovers that there is a freedom in her new situation--and that she has a greater inner strength than she ever before realized.

Reviews
" Uprooted is a wise, moving meditation on marriage, family, home, illness, endurance, and creativity. Esti Skloot explores in vivid scenes and poignant language the shifting perspectives we have across time, and the ways in which decisions we make and unforeseen events challenge and define us. This is a deeply felt, urgent memoir." --Floyd Skloot, author of In the Shadow of Memory "We find in Esti Skloot's Uprooted: A Memoir of a Marriage , a powerful meditation on the loss of love and trust in a marriage, the blessings that can flow from even the most painful of quandaries, and an unblinkered act of truth-telling--the fight to tell this truth astonishing us and bringing, one hopes, a measure of mercy to the artist." --Robert Roper, author of Nabokov in America "Esti Skloot has written a painfully honest account of her youthful marriage to a charismatic American she barely knows. As the couple shifts from New York to England to Israel and finally northern California, her husband's erratic moods and domineering behavior undermine her confidence in herself and threaten to destroy her hopes for loving intimacy. When in his early thirties Steve is diagnosed with a brain tumor, Esti must face the likelihood that she will have to raise their three children alone. This coming-of-age story has truth, heart and soul." --Abby Wasserman, author of Mary Tuthill Lindheim: Art and Inspiration, " Uprooted is a wise, moving meditation on marriage, family, home, illness, endurance, and creativity.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
