Memory mothers maternity and more
I found this book challenging due to personal experience of a mother with dementia and I am also over 65. But I’m glad I read it. Family relationships, women’s place in past and present India, cultural differences with America, the problems and upheaval of childbirth and much more. The characters are well and honestly drawn and I could empathise with them all. I want to read more from this author and think it deserved the Booker nomination.
