Swimming With Maya: A Mother's Story (Capital Discovery) ReviewIn one respect, "Swimming" is about organ donation, but that feature of the story would not be as meaningful without all of the back story of the people involved, particularly the mother and daughter at the heart of the story, and especially Ms. Vincent. The back story is related with such searing honesty and absence of sentimentality, that I could not put the book down.
Eleanor Vincent leaves no question in the reader's mind about WHO made that decision to donate her daughter's organs. It is a heroic gesture under any circumstances. But it also made human through the understanding we are given of the nature of the relationship between this mother and daughter, their history, and the place they had come to in their lives. I cried in several places, not because of the obvious sadness of the story, but because the writing unsettled with its "realness."
I came away from this book feeling that I had been allowed to take a long, moving look into the personal mythology of another human being, with its many radiances and confused shadings. Memoir always offers the possibility of that, but doesn't always deliver. Ms. Vincent delivers.Swimming With Maya: A Mother's Story (Capital Discovery) Overview
