{More about The Painted Table}
A beautiful heirloom ingrained with family memory has become a totem of a life Saffee would rather forget—a childhood disrupted by her mother’s mental illness.
Saffee does not want the table. By the time she inherits the object of her mother’s obsession, the surface is thick with haphazard layers of paint, and heavy with unsettling memories.
After a childhood spent watching her mother slide steadily into insanity, painting and re-painting the ancient table, Saffee has come to fear that seeds of psychosis may lie dormant within her. But as an adult with a family of her own, Saffee must confront her mother’s torment if she wants to defend herself against it.
Traversing four generations over the course of a century, The Painted Table is an epic portrait of inherited memory, proclivity, and guilt. It is a sprawling narrative affirmation that a family artifact—like a family member—can bear the marks of one’s entire past . . . as well as intimations of one’s redemption.

My review;
Sometimes families and others do not realize how much the mental illness of one person can affect other's lives forever. "The Painted Table" by Suzanne Field gives one such story about how a young girl watches her mother get worse as she grows up and how she even tries to attempt to deal with it. Should she take her mother's table, or will it bring very bad memories up? this book was sad, happy and compelling at the same time. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own.
