I’m conflicted with Mothers. On the one hand, I liked a lot of the commentaries and found them to be fascinating. But I also don’t think Rose went as deep as she could have with the subject. A lot of the essays just introduce beginner level topics and then never further examine them, which left me, as a learner, a bit dissatisfied. I understand I can’t expect one book to teach me everything, but I still believe these ideas deserved to be explored more. As for the writing style, I enjoyed it, but I didn’t find it to be particularly alluring or anything special.

a book beautifully compiled of diverse and poignant references and the author's excellent, skilled commentary on it. full of quotes I will be referencing for myself many times over, I am sure. not afraid to strip motherhood back to its physical, emotional, and spiritual realities without shaming any kind of experience in the process. a great introduction to other writers and speakers about the psychology of motherhood and equally importantly daughterhood.
