A proposito di questo titolo
A darkly funny and moving debut novel about the unforgettable Agatha, whose devotion to a widow with dementia (and an inconvenient attachment to her daughter’s grave) sparks a radical reckoning with life, loss, and love’s aftermath.
Agatha, a bristly painter fleeing her own darkness, decamps to rural New Mexico to live the reclusive life. It is there she meets Alice, a mild widow with a deepening case of dementia who keeps steady vigil at her daughter’s backyard grave. Despite Agatha’s rough edges and fierce aversion to sentimentality, she surprises herself by falling in love, and her well-worn convictions begin to upend.
As Alice’s condition worsens, Agatha hatches a plan for them to live together at her remote residence at Mesa Portales. But when Alice’s wayward son comes along with different ideas—and Alice suddenly goes missing—Agatha takes matters into her own hands and embarks on an unusual mission that calls into question whether some secrets are better kept buried.
Sharp, watchful, at once thrillingly perceptive and hidden from herself, Agatha is as imposing as the vast landscape her rustic adobe home overlooks. Loosely inspired by the life of Agnes Martin, I Am Agatha introduces us to this irascible, indelible character who learns—over a stretch of strange, singular days—new ways to fathom life, death, and her own heart.

Recensioni della critica
"Pickens’ stellar narration turns this beautiful reflection on life and its wonders into much more than a moving love story."
"Narrator Jennifer Pickens captures Agatha, the irascible title character, within the first minutes of this audiobook. With her artist’s eye, Agatha observes things that most people don’t notice. Despite her stony manner and her desire for solitude, Agatha is in love with Alice, who is slowly succumbing to the ravages of dementia. Alice’s son plans to put her in a care facility, but Agatha offers her the sanctuary of her own home. Pickens is splendid delivering Foley’s spare, condensed prose. Loosely based on the life of New Mexico artist Agnes Martin, Foley’s novel weaves a gorgeous tapestry of the moments, both terrible and wonderful, that make up this fictional Agnes’ life."
