Mothers and Daughters: From the Sunday Times bestselling author comes the most captivating new family drama of 2022

Product Information

Since her husbands death and her daughters embarking on their own relationships Naomi is at a crossroads where she is finding herself on her own for the first time in years. The stories of all three women are woven together superbly and although the overall tone of the novel is heartwarming, they each face plenty of adversity along the way which affect them at an individual level and change the dynamic between them all. The author of nineteen bestselling novels, and the winner of the 2006 Romantic Novel of the Year Award, Erica divides her time between Suffolk and Lake Como in Italy.

Whilst there are some emotional issues explored in this story, I thought the ending was uplifting and optimistic. This is a multi-layered and engaging story filled with interesting and diverse characters, all hiding behind their secrets and for very good reasons. The last 20% turns a bit more gritty, you do feel a storm cloud on the horizon, so it’s predictable and requires nothing more than a rain Mac and a huddle with a loved one under a tree to weather it out. Mothers and Daughters follows Mum Naomi, her two grown up daughters Martha and Willow, and their partners.

It's a story about family relationships, mostly those between mother and daughters and the different personalities they have.

Despite being sisters, Willow and Martha are opposites in how they live their life and what gives them enjoyment.Although the POV’s weren’t clearly labelled, it didn’t take me long to figure out who each chapter was dedicated to. Martha and Willow are her 2 daughters, both very different in character but dealing with their own issues along with the grief of losing their father.
