Missing Mom | Joyce Carol Oates

3 posts | 8 read | 4 to read

Nikki Eaton, single, thirty-one, sexually liberated, and economically self-supporting, has never particularly thought of herself as a daughter. Yet, following the unexpected loss of her mother, she undergoes a remarkable transformation during a tumultuous year that brings stunning horror, sorrow, illumination, wisdom, and even�from an unexpected source�a nurturing love.

Missing Mom | Joyce Carol Oates

Meh

so-so

Book 169

I listened to Missing Mom by Joyce Carol Oates, the story of Nicole discovering her mom, murdered in her home, and grieving the first year of life without her. Oates writes dynamic characters with emotional precision. That being said, Nicole isn't likable and the grieving, though arguably authentic feels protracted. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

blurb

Missing Mom | Joyce Carol Oates

I got my love of reading from my mom. I'd give anything for just 5 more minutes to talk books with my mom. I miss her today. Happy Mother's Day Littens. I hope you're lucky enough to know a mother's love.

Current mood. Hard to believe I've had 19 Mother's Days without her. #MayBookFlowers

CherylDeFranceschi This is my 8th. I'm sorry- I know how sometimes it's so raw, no matter the distance. Just know she lives in you still. *hugs* 8y
