In this memoir, Lyden (National Public Radio) writes about her life, especially the challenges with her her mother, who was mentally ill (manic-depressive) and in a dysfunctional marriage. Jacki Lyden (born 1953 or 1954) is an American journalist and author of the memoir, Daughter of the Queen of Sheba (1997). In 1979, Lyden joined National Public Radio as a freelance reporter in the Chicago bureau. By 1989, Lyden was stationed in London, covering The Troubles in Northern Ireland. She covered the Gulf War from the Middle East. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, she continued to serve as a foreign correspondent for NPR. Lyden was NPR's first correspondent on the air from New York during the September 11 attacks and reported from "Ground Zero". In late 2001, she served as a foreign correspondent in Afghanistan. As a regular substitute host for Weekend All Things Considered and other shows, like Weekend Edition, she interviewed numerous poets, authors, filmmakers. During a 2008 downsizing, Lyden's staff position as an All Things Considered substitute host was eliminated. She continued as a contributing host and correspondent on a temporary basis from 2009 through 2014, when her contract ended. Her reporting has earned her wide acclaim, including two Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award awards, a Peabody Award, and a Gracie Award. As an NPR correspondent, Jacki Lyden visited some dangerous war zonesâ"but her childhood was a war zone of a different kind. Lyden's mother suffered from what is now called bipolar disorder or manic depression. But in a small Wisconsin town in the sixties and seventies she was simply "crazy." In her delusions, Lyden's mother was a woman of power: Marie Antoinette or the Queen of Sheba. But in reality, she had married the nefarious local doctor, who drugged her to keep her moods in check and terrorized the children to keep them quiet. Holding their lives together was Lyden's hardscrabble Irish grandmother, a woman who had her first child at the age of fourteen and lost her husband in a barroom brawl. In this memoir, Lyden vividly captures the seductive energy of her mother's delusions and the effect they had on her own life. She paints a portrait of three remarkable womenâ"mother, daughter, and grandmotherâ"revealing their obstinate devotion to one another against all odds, and their scrappy genius for survival. "What distinguishes Daughter of the Queen of Sheba from any other book about dysfunctional parents . . . and turns this exotic memoir into compelling literature is the dreamy poetry of Lyden's prose. In graceful imagery as original (and occasionally as highly wrought) as her mother's costumes, Lydenâ"a senior correspondent for National Public Radioâ"loops and loops again around the central fact of her mother's manic depression and how that illness shaped Lyden's life growing up with two younger sisters, a scrappy Irish grandmother (whose memory she holds like âa cotton rag around a cut'), a father who left, and a hated stepfather." â"Entertainment Weekly. Caroline Knapp writing in The New York Times described the book: "The writing -- vivid, original, lyrical -- shines at its most haunting, when Lyden homes in on the specifics of her mother's behavior". Michiko Kakutani wrote a review in 1997, saying this memoir was "a book that belongs on the shelf of classic memoirs, alongside The Liars' Club by Mary Karr and Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt." Kakutani called her writing "deft, luminous prose" and described the book as "both a reporter's unsentimental act of recollection and a love letter to an impossible and captivating woman.".
