Synopsis

Fourteen years after his mother's death, Aleksy is urged by his psychiatrist to revisit the final summer they spent together in the French countryside. At eighteen, he saw the trip as another burden imposed by a family fractured by grief and resentment. But when his mother revealed she was dying, the long-held anger between them slowly gave way to something neither had expected.

Tender, unsparing, and deeply affecting, The Summer My Mother Had Green Eyes is a powerful novel about memory, forgiveness, and the complicated love between a mother and her son. With lyrical precision and emotional intensity, Tatiana Țîbuleac explores grief, reconciliation, and the lasting marks left by family.
