Siddons, Anne Rivers Up Island
Hardcover: 1997 HarperCollins, NYC 1st ed. 0060176156 / 9780060176150
Book: Very Fine. DJ: Fine. Shipping weight 630 (grams).
Anne Rivers Siddons's 12th novel, 'Up Island,' can be taken on many levels. It is about the role of the woman in today's society. It is about the shedding of the antiquated conservative ideal of the family unit. It is about searching, self-discovery, and the triumph of the human spirit. Siddons introduces us to her complacent heroine, Molly Redwine, a loyal wife and mother. Can a person be too loyal? Perhaps, for when her husband announces that he is leaving her for a younger woman, Molly's whole life is completely and irrevocably shattered. Her situation is unfortunately and intensely exacerbated by the sudden death of her mother, and she naturally begins to feel bitter and vindictive. Her only satisfaction is not granting her husband a quick divorce, but this only does more harm to Molly's fragile psyche. She decides she must get away. Molly's close friend Livvy invites her for a time to Martha's Vineyard. Molly decides to stay in these lush surroundings and not return to the unhappiness awaiting her at home in Atlanta. Is she running away from her problems? No...she is running away from her former self, a person who was not really her. She manages to secure a job as caretaker of the Ponder household: Bella; her female companion, Luz; Dennis, Bella's seriously ill son; and a pair of swans who live on the nearby pond. Molly's father, still grieving the loss of his wife, eventually joins them, and an interesting surrogate family begins to form. As Siddons says, 'A family is any group that comes together in love and commitment.'
