Book Reviews of One True Thing: A Novel
Book Review: A Daughter Grows to Recognize Her Dying Mother's Strengths
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a gripping, well-written novel about a young woman's changing life as she sets aside her career and aspirations to care for her dying mother.
Dynamics of family triangles, collusion and secrets are all explored. The portrayal of the arrogant, academic father is almost visual. The writing is rich and evocative. Ellen, the daughter, grows to see her mother's unspoken strength and influence. She also learns to acknowledge her mother's place, and hence her own, in the family. All of this makes for a very rich and readable book.
