Even if you don't have in-laws...BUY THIS BOOK!,

This review is from: I Married My Mother-In-Law (Hardcover)
I picked up this anthology yesterday and I was unable to stop until Tom Junod's last sentence. Those final words "...of becoming something like her son" read a little smeary because I was crying, for the tenth or eleventh time, not even stopping to wipe the tears away. I can't begin to tell you how captivating, moving, illuminating--all those blurb words that seem so inadequate-this book was. I felt as if I had been invited to a dinner party where the host suggested a parlor game that at first seems frivolous, but as each guest tells their story, grows increasingly poignant, serious and epic. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

What a terrific compilation. Great writing, great stories. Moving, touching, teaching stories. Thank you to these authors who shared their lives, their thoughts and feelings.
Only thing I didn't like is the title. Can't believe they couldn't come up with a better one to capture the essence of this book, these people's stories. Love or hate your in-laws, doesn't matter- this book is for you. It might make you call up your mother-in-law! :) |
