The Good Daughters
The Good Daughters: A Novel | Joyce Maynard
6 posts | 5 read | 13 to read
A story of choices and events so intimate I felt I was part of it. The novel is wrenching, the emotions radiant, and it will leave readers transformed Luanne Rice, author of The Deep Blue Sea for Beginners Joyce Maynard has outdone herself in this beautifully written story youll find hard to put down and impossible to forget. Elizabeth Berg, author of The Last Time I Saw You Bestselling author of the critically acclaimed Labor Day, Joyce Maynard now brings us The Good Daughters, a spellbinding novel about friendship, family secrets, and the strange, unexpected twists of fate that shape our lives. The story of two women born the same day in the same hospital, but raised in vastly different emotional environments, The Good Daughters is another high note in Maynards already distinguished writing career.

Shelf sort read ! 2 girls born on the same day in a small New Hampshire hospital whose situations couldn‘t be less alike . Ruth longs to pursue art & adventure. She takes for granted her grounded family rooted to a farm for generations. Dana is born to a couple of drifters & dreamers, feeling often she‘s more of the adult than her parents. She is grounded in reality & science.born in 1950, get caught up in the times , think Woodstock & Vietnam.

#AboutABook #FromTBRList this shelf project is going to take a LONG time. My TBR pile has been pretty stagnant too!🙄So after doing 2 shelves , culling a duplicate, moving some to another location to be by the rest by an author,I said I liked Maynard‘s Labor Day & this is the book after that one. Then WHAT ? This book has been on a shelf since 2010? It‘s next ! Sheesh

MommyWantsToReadHerBook Ooh, I loved Labor Day - let me know if this one is worth it! 5mo

HISTORICAL FICTION - DRAMA

What a heartwarming, cozy, feel good read.....a sweet, nostalgic book...but with all good things there usually are regrets, heartbreak, and secrets.

You will be surprised at who/what the “good daughters” turn out to be and will also learn some fun agricultural facts about fruits and vegetables.

If you liked The Glass Castle, you will like this as well.
