Room Room for Delusion
Author(s): Margaret Mathews
Bronwen is vulnerable. She consults psychotherapist Isabella Cavani. But who is Bella? In consultations at the well-heeled therapist's home, Bronwen wonders: is she the younger version of her mother who can listen as her own mother could not? Or is she the secret woman she desires? Certainly Bronwen (with an 'e') will reveal through their sessions the shapes of her life: her parents, teenage angst, her husband, the kind and gentle Richard, her children and their times. An expose of the fantasies and yearnings of a woman undergoing psychotherapy, the novel offers insight into the spirited but destructive Bronwen and her quest to overcome fears and obligations to an ageing, disturbed mother. Told through the lens of Bronwen's lusting for Bella, Margaret Mathews Room for Delusion oozes with life. Mathews is brilliant at capturing the panic involved in some of our everyday acts. You will ache for the ending.
