In The Portrait of A Lady, with an autobiographical stroke, the author displays his relationship and bond with her grandmother, the changing dynamic of the relationship from rural life to fast pace and alienation of a city and eventual reconciliation in her final days.
The bond she had with birds and her spiritual energy always fascinated the author even though he could never understand it completely.
The account is stirring and emotionally charged and reflects a sense of longing for the bonds of affection and care that are difficult to replace as once gets old and distant.
