5.0 out of 5 stars A Young Woman's Love for Her Alcoholic Mother, May 25, 2009

Bonnie Brody "Book Lover and Knitter" (Port St. Lucie, FL) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This review is from: I Wish This War Were Over (Paperback)

This novel is a flowing, lyrical account of a nineteen year-old girl who takes a train ride cross-country to visit and care for her alcoholic mother. En route she meets an ex-lover of her mother's and they fall in love.

The mother's beauty, ephemerality, self-centered absorption and her daughter's poetic entrapment and love for her mother form the basis of this wonderful book.
