*A New Yorker and Vogue Best Book of 2023*
"Compelling... [McPhee] positions herself neither as victim nor saint but as someone who, she says, only wants to be good." The Washington Post
A moving memoir from an award-winning novelista riveting account of her complicated, bohemian childhood and her return home to care for her ailing mother.
In March 2020, Martha McPhee, her husband, and their two children set out for her childhood home in New Jersey, where she finds herself grappling simultaneously with a mother slipping into severe dementia and a house that's fallen into neglect. As Martha works to manage her mother's care and the sprawling, ramshackle propertya broken septic system, invasive bamboo, dying ash treesshe is swept back, unwillingly, into memories of her fraught, dysfunctional childhood.
In this masterful exploration of a complicated family legacy, McPhee "makes no effort to spare her own flaws even as she searches for the roots of her mature turmoil in the shortcomings of adults who failed in the fundamental task of protecting her younger self" (BookPage). Omega Farm is an "expansive" (New Yorker) testament to hope in the face of suffering, and a courageous tale about how returning home can offer a new way to understand the past.
