Tante

by Anne Douglas Sedgwick

The story follows Madame Okraska, a renowned artist, and her adopted daughter, whose lives are deeply intertwined with the complexities of artistic brilliance. The novel explores the sacrifices that often accompany artistic success, questioning the extent to which children are obligated to prioritize their parents' happiness at the expense of their own. The narrative delves into the psychological toll of ambition, the dynamics of family relationships, and the delicate balance between personal fulfillment and societal expectations.
