Summary

Mimi, a fashionable but withdrawn woman, takes pity on a bag lady at the back of the cinema. In hospital, nurses name the old woman Bella and as they peel away layers of her clothing, so the layers of her life are narrated and we find that she is Mimi's mother, whose alienation led to destitution.

The Dream Mistress by Jenny Diski

Left by her lover, Mimi withdraws to bed, peopling her past in search of truer stories than her own life seemed able to tell. Was the unconcious bag-lady she helped,in fact her own mother, or was it Bella the victim of a bomb blast, or even the reclusive nun, with terrible and mirraculous powers?
