Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 7
Hustvedt displays her expansive intellect and interdisciplinary knowledge in this collection that moves effortlessly between stories of her mother, grandmother, and daughter to artistic mothers, Jane Austen, Emily Brontë, and Louise Bourgeois, to the broader meanings of maternal in a culture shaped by misogyny and fantasies of paternal authority. Mothers, Fathers, and Others is a polymath’s journey into urgent questions about familial love and hate, human prejudice and cruelty, and the transformative power of art.

Great book, but distracted by bad pronunciation
Revisado: 04-10-24
Over all, the narrator was perfectly decent, but as a person who speaks both Norwegian and German, I was flabbergasted by the lack of interest in pronouncing quotes in those respective languages properly. There were multiple occasions where it took me a while to figure out what was said, because the quotes (“Det er krig”, “Was will das Weib”) were pronounced so incorrectly. It was actually disruptive. I don’t understand why there in the recording process wasn’t just spent a minute looking up the proper pronunciation of these sentences (or remove them all together).
