Book Reviews of Mothers and Sons: Stories
Book Review: Moments of severence
Summary: 4 Stars
Often I had to search for the mother-son relationship in these stories, because I was looking for a more traditional, warm bond between mothers and their sons, until I found that in these stories it is all about moments at which this bond is disturbed, often even severed. Beautiful prose. What annoyed me was the abrupt ending of several stories, which left me feeling that I missed something. Or can it be that Toibin just wants to focus on those moments of severence?
