About this product
Product Information
*A New Yorker Best Book of 2023* "Compelling... [McPhee] positions herself neither as victim nor saint but as someone who, she says, only wants to be good." -- The Washington Post A moving memoir from an award-winning novelist--a riveting account of her complicated, bohemian childhood and her return home to care for her ailing mother. In March 2020, Martha McPhee, her husband, and their two children set out for her childhood home in New Jersey, where she finds herself grappling simultaneously with a mother slipping into severe dementia and a house that's fallen into neglect. As Martha works to manage her mother's care and the sprawling, ramshackle property--a broken septic system, invasive bamboo, dying ash trees--she is swept back, unwillingly, into memories of her fraught, dysfunctional childhood. In this masterful exploration of a complicated family legacy, McPhee "makes no effort to spare her own flaws even as she searches for the roots of her mature turmoil in the shortcomings of adults who failed in the fundamental task of protecting her younger self" ( BookPage ). Omega Farm is an "expansive" ( New Yorker ) testament to hope in the face of suffering, and a courageous tale about how returning home can offer a new way to understand the past.

Reviews
"Sharply observed, beautifully written, and blazingly honest, Omega Farm is the memoir I didn't know to hope for - one that endeavors to make sense of that alien period around the pandemic when families reconfigured to shelter together. In this intimate family portrait, Martha McPhee returns to her childhood home where she's forced to confront a dark past while contending with a demanding present: a failing mother, an unhappy son, and a house and orchard in utter disarray. The book is a marvel, deftly telling the story of how we find out who we are, and what calls us to transcend." -- Adrienne Brodeur, author of Little Monsters and Wild Game: My Mother, Her Secret, and Me "A hypnotic and moving tale about a daughter's determination to restore the run-down family farm and forest of her idyllic, utopian childhood, only to be haunted by family secrets and memories she cannot undo. With grit and determination, Martha McPhee explores the hurts that define us, and the love that sustains." --Jill Bialosky, author of History of a Suicide: My Sister's Unfinished Life and The Deceptions "Martha's McPhee's Omega Farm, set against the backdrop of a global pandemic and the small family forest where she took shelter, manages to capture the trauma of childhood while also finding love, and healing. I will carry this story of her chaotic, vibrant beginning for a long time." --Mary Beth Keane, author of Ask Again, Yes and The Half Moon "A beautiful, brutal tale of one woman's reckoning with her childhood and awakening to the world around her. Immersive and unforgettable." --Joanna Rakoff, author of My Salinger Year and A Fortunate Age, "Sharply observed, beautifully written, and blazingly honest, Omega Farm is the memoir I didn't know to hope for - one that endeavors to make sense of that alien period around the pandemic when families reconfigured to shelter together.

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!
