I Married My Mother uncovers the complex relationship between a mother and a daughter, from a dreamlike quality of wonder to fragile emotional states.
A surreal memoir about a little girl growing up in Cape town in the fifties, set against the backdrop of a white middle class society, seen through the eyes and voice of the child. A holographic journey into the psychological effects of hosting the ‘enemy within’, the heroine scarred by the myriad reflections of her mother’s negative entities.

Fair Lady Magazine by Jennifer Crocker

"There will be those who recognize the horror of betrayal and violence and the devastation it leaves behind, and they’ll be grateful that she has spoken of it in this book. Brilliantly written and edited, it’s a joy to find a self-published book that is a treasure in and of itself."

Oprah Magazine South African edition by Samantha Page

"The sting of betrayal, the legacy of living with a depressed mother and the disillusionment of a daughter makes this a powerful psychological treatise –"

Women and Home Magazine

"A shocking but touching account of a fiery mother and daughter relationship"

People Magazine by Warren Robertson

"Never has an author of a book come across more eccentric or strange than Hilary Maraney. She is quirky in the extreme and this translates onto the page in what is essentially a series of memories around growing up in Cape Town from the 1920’s onwards."

Book SA Lit Daily By Ben Williams

“How to summarise the multi-platform work-and life-that is Dinky-Bloc’s? Perhaps it would be best to start with the name, an unusual name for a resident of Cape Town’s Bantry Bay ( or-thinking it over- perhaps not as unusual) whose translation is exactly what you might expect it to be, if you were a literalist. Dinky-Bloc = small square.

Small because according to one orientalist tradition, 'small is beautiful’ and Dinky-Bloc is certainly an orientalist in this regard, given to fine Japonaiserie in the rooms she opens to public view namely her homepage (dinky-bloc.com) and Myspace account SlippersgoestoLondon and Blip.fm - DoubleCherryBlossom

Square, because of the sacred geometry involved, of course four triangles that after enough folding, reshape into a pyramid- and one could go on about the potentialities of the pyramid all day, couldn’t one.

The main point, I think is that when you’re writing a “haiku biography”, as Dinky-Bloc- aka Hilary Maraney, a writer, painter, chanteuse, ex-actress and healer who says she’s “ 100yearsold” on the web, but admits to being a bit younger than that during telephone conversations – describes her book, I Married My Mother then you’re into containers that contain further containers, that in turn contain still further containers, boxes of surprises that work together in unseen ways to produce a composite image of something that when you add it all up, makes beautiful music to you and is rather cryptically fascinating for everyone else.

Her book comes with its own free newspaper supplement, The Kinema Post and is available in Cape Town at both Clarkes Books and The Book Lounge.”

Started out pretty well but dwindled into a nonsensical mess. It was like watching someone descend into madness. Read the whole thing hoping for a proper ending but it sort of just floated away in a jumble of "poetic" words

I Married My Mother eBook Hilary Maraney Reviews

I absolutely loved this memoir! So beautifully and elegantly written and completely insightful. It is always such a gift to share in someone's creativity and life.
I highly recommend those who are drawn to excellent literature to read this!!

Confused this book with 'when I Married My Mother" this book gets very confusing and strange
rich in texture, poetry and heart - Hilary Maraney speaks plainly and honestly as she winds her reader through the painful landscape of her childhood and shares with unflinching honesty what it was like growing up in and surviving an enmeshed and emotionally stunted family in 1940's South Africa.
