“Every Last One” by Anna Quindlan was a rollercoaster. I strongly associated with the life of a busy mother, and then sympathized when, "wham!", life changes forever. The absolute shock of what happens in her life was shocking. I went from feeling a kinship with the character to feeling horrified and then grateful and appreciative.
I don’t want to give away the details, so just try it out and let me know what you think!
Also pick up Quindlen’s “One True Thing.” Another complex female character struggling with a complicated relationship. This one between daughter and mother, instead of mother and children.
I loved both of these novels and plan to read more by Anna Quindlan soon.
