Shedding Your Past

At the age of 14, Adrienne Brodeurwas awakened in the middle of the night – her mother, Malabar, giddy with excitement, shared she’d been kissed by her husband’s best friend. She swore Adrienne to secrecy.  At that moment Adrienne not only became her mother’s confidante, she became an accomplice to an affair that went on for years.

Adrienne Brodeur’s new memoir Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover and Me explores the complexity of her relationship with her mother, how corrosive a secret can be, and how she broke free from them both.

Adrienne Brodeur will be at the Sandwich Public Library with Titcomb's Bookshopon Tuesday, November 12 at 6:30. 

And she’ll be at the Falmouth Public Library with Eight Cousinson Wednesday, November 13 at 7 p.m.
