Book Reviews of Terms of Endearment: A Novel
Book Review: A Texas Matriarch and Her Family
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a novel that will make the reader laugh and cry. It is uproariously funny and poignantly tragic.
It is about a matriarch named Aurora and her family. Aurora feels that her daughter has married beneath her. In fact, that's true. Her husband is an egocentric, self-absorbed professor who cheats on her. Aurora lives next door to an astronaut with whom she flirts. Together, they form a laugh-aloud couple. Aurora can be contemptuous, tender, loving and hateful.
McMurtry gets characters right on and we feel as if we know them from the inside out. Saying too much more about the plot would be spoiling it for the reader. I will say that the plot is very interesting and the character development and movement will make it difficult for any reader to put the book down. It is that riveting.
