The Doll by Ismail Kadare
A Portrait of My Mother
A reflective autobiographical narrative in which a son revisits his fraught yet tender bond with his fragile, enigmatic mother amid the shifting realities of mid‑20th‑century Albania. Through intimate memories of a stone-built hometown, a creaking family house, and the pressures of a repressive regime, he probes how love, guilt, and social expectations shape both family life and the making of an artist.
