MOTHER OF MY MOTHER

Hope Edelman's maternal grandmother was a central figure in her life, and so she believes it is (and should be) for many women. Edelman tells her own story and draws on the relationships between her mother and grandmother and herself to demonstrate the strong bonds that can be a major force in the maturing of young girls. Kate McIntyre reads with conviction and clarity. She gives the impression of reading with a smile on her face as she thinks nostalgically of people she loves deeply.
