From Booklist

To a little girl, there is magic in her mother's closet. It's a place to discover forbidden things, to glimpse what Erica Jong calls "the paraphernalia of femininity." And most of all, it can offer profound comfort in its smells and familiarity. In this appealing volume, writer and professional flutist Zukerman collects the words of more than 40 accomplished women, including herself, as they reminisce about their experiences in their mothers' closets. Most selections tap right into a child's view of the world, and not all are reverential; Carrie Fisher's humorous, loving piece, for example, mentions her fascination with her famous mother's "weird-ass giant underwear." Many names will be familiar to readers: Leslie Stahl, Judy Collins, Renee Fleming, and more. And the memories may be of particular interest to baby boomers, who will recognize much of the jewelry, clothing, and lifestyles mentioned. Best of all, these moving pieces capture those moments when girls realize that their mothers are mysterious, complicated people, not just parents. Gillian Engberg

This Book Will Forever Be Close To My Heart

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

I first read this book years ago--and one day I was reminded of it and had to OWN it. It was conformation to me that I was not the only little girl in the world who found answers to who I was (as a female) in my mother's bedroom. Her bedroom was full of answers: in her closet, her lingerie drawer, inside her purse. Even though I have always had a mind of my own (since the day I was born), I am proud to say that much of my mother is a part of me, even though we never really bonded, and I NEVER really felt like a child. This book helped me see my childhood and adolescent years in true perspective. It really was that powerful a book for me--and even now-- I love to refer to it, every now and then! My deepest appreciation to the authoress, and all the other women who created it!

I just started reading it and it hits my wow factor. As a mother of a wonderful and sometimes difficult daughter I have found so many stories in this book that resonate with me. After all I was a wonderful difficult daughter myself.

Surprisingly Good, Great Even.

As time has gone, this book becomes more valuable. Much more is opened than a woman's closet. Women are brave enough to reveal themselves.

An Enchanting Book for Women... and Men to Enjoy!

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2003

A friend was recently reading "In My Mother's Closet" and she was moved to tears by some of the compelling memories that are brought back to life by author Eugenia Zukerman. Even while understanding it was a book rooted in different women's childhood experiences, I was still intrigued and got the book anyway. From the first page, I was immediately captivated and gained great insight into the early lives of Carrie Fisher, Anne Spielberg (Director Steven's sister), Lesley Stahl, and many other endearing women. We men also have these fascinating recollections of their parents' closets where there were secrets or clothing that would signal the beginning of a special event. I always knew where to look for my hidden birthday and Christmas presents. I even called my sister to reminisce about the times we both played in the closets and were frightened by our mom's Fox stole that peered back at us with many eyes, as it was unbelievably comprised of several animal skins. I also remember wearing my dad's jewelry proudly in my teenage years when I was coming of age.
Eugenia Zukerman wrote this book for easy reading to be picked up often, as each chapter is dedicated to and describes one of the sharing contributors. Sometimes the stories would initiate nice and warm conversations with my wife and even with my mom. I recommend this charming book not only for women to enjoy reading, but to also share them with the men they love...and love to talk with as well!

A Beautiful Gift

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2003

This book, beautiful in every sense, would be a perfect gift for any woman, including oneself. It taps into so many universal themes of girlhood, womanhood, and the profound relationship between a mother and her daughter. I imagine I'm not the only one who laughed and cried when reading it. Ms. Zukerman is a graceful and interesting writer. I wish her two novels could be re-published in paperback.
