She writes very well family dynamics are real and honest in the telling - if not in the communication. Subtle narrative and honest grappling with life‘s trials.

Prose over plot. I'm not sure I always knew what was happening, but I ultimately did enjoy it.

Starting one of my #CampLitsy choices that didn‘t get selected. Purchased mostly because #LovetheCover (and seem to be reading lots of #MotherDaughter books) #WesternKS #TravelReading #foggy

August is Women in Translation month, so I wanted to use the letter game to highlight a few amazing translated books, I have been a bit obsessed with French novels lately and Book of Mother was just the right book for this, it is a bit dark, but beautifully written and packs a punch in a slim volume.

A very light pick that I probably wouldn‘t actually recommend to anyone unless you‘re a masochist. It made me wildly uncomfortable which isn‘t necessarily a bad thing, but it really felt like a chore to get through after a brilliant Part 1. There are some moments of beauty and brilliance but not enough to compensate for the sheer misery. Also, the mother in question can not be trusted around the family dogs which is a HUGE 🚫 for me.
