Kompletní popis

Are we responsible for, and to, those forces that have formed us - our families, friends, and communities? Where do we leave off and others begin? In The Tribal Knot, Rebecca McClanahan looks for answers in the history of her family. Poring over letters, artifacts, and documents that span more than a century, she discovers a tribe of hardscrabble Midwest farmers, hunters, trappers, and labourers struggling to hold tight to the ties that bind them, through poverty, war, political upheavals, illness and accident, filicide and suicide, economic depressions, personal crises, and global disasters. Like the hair weaving that lends the book its central image, McClanahan braids these tales of the ancestors into a single intimate narrative of her search to understand herself and her place in the complex story of her family's past.
