![]() ![]() I was dumbfounded at the manipulation and selfishness of Adrienne’s mother. Adrienne’s desire to protect her mother-a deeply flawed but undeniably magnetic woman-and her blindness to the inappropriateness of her mother’s actions is heart-wrenching. In Wild Game, Malabar pursues an affair with her disabled husband’s best friend, using her daughter, Adrienne, as a distraction, confidante, and accomplice to keep her relationship a secret and ensure its success. ![]() ![]() The ways in which Malabar repeatedly crossed lines that should never be crossed was unconscionable. Maybe that explains my shock and utter dismay over this true story of the author Adrienne’s relationship with her mother, Malabar. As a mother of three kids, I’m acutely aware of the role I have in their life and appreciate the sacred gift to usher them into adulthood. I’m not a big nonfiction reader, but I devoured Wild Game (pun intended). ![]()
