All My Mothers by Joanna Glen

emotional inspiring sad tense slow-paced

5.0

All my mothers is a book about mothers. It was @the_book_taster book club pick for March and how amazing is that book club is tonight, on Mother’s Day. 

Eva Martinez-Green is an only child who has so many questions about her beginning, at the age of just six, she begins to doubt what she has been told. 

After her parent’s relationship breaks down, she sets off to find the answers herself and along the way she meets several different women who challenge her idea of what a mother should be, and thanks to them, both good times and bad, they unknowingly change her life forever. 

This is another amazing book, and it will be in my top 3 of the year, and it is by far my favourite book out of the 19 books that the lovely Jenna, @book_club_mumma has chosen as book club picks for us so far. 

It is a thought provoking, tearjerker of a book, but it is so brilliantly written. Lots of difficult subjects are woven within this slow burn of a book, but all of them are written empathically and considerately. 

I am already highly recommending this to anyone that will listen, so if you haven’t already, buy it now, and pick up a few boxes of tissues too, as you will need plenty of those.
