- Synopsis
- After returning home from working in the Lowell mills, from her bogside cabin in rural New England, Aimee Slater unravels the story of her life, attempting to make sense of the tangled thread that leads from her mother's house-a short, unbridgeable distance away-to the world she now inhabits. It is soon after the Civil War; Aimee lives alone, but is graced with visits from two friends, a crippled man and a orphaned eleven-year-old girl. She is perpetually caught between the sensual world she so desires and the retribution passed down to her by her mother's scorn. How Aimee ultimately creates a life for herself and bridges that distance makes for a moving story of love and loss. Told in a voice of spare New England lyricism, Unravelling is a haunting account of the power of redemption.
