MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS

Meadows explores the complicated ties that bind one generation of women to the next. In the space of a hundred years, many things change, but the special connection between mothers and daughters endures. Meadows proves her point by giving us the stories of three women who appear in both the role of mother and daughter. The novel is well constructed, and each woman’s story is spellbinding. Narrator Maggi-Meg Reed is a sorceress who keeps us enchanted by conjuring the souls of each character she portrays. Her skill goes far beyond her talent for accents, pacing, clarity, and tonal variation. MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS is the perfect vehicle for a rich listening experience.
