The Mothers by Brit Bennett

5.0

Brit Bennett blew me away when I read “The Vanishing Half” by her. This book was much the same. For whatever reason, I LOVE this woman’s writing style and was impressed yet again with her golden nuggets of near poetic lines throughout. The story starts with Nadia and Luke, two teenagers in love and getting into trouble. The novel follows them over the course of their lifetimes, told from a very unique perspective and with constant references to a church group known as “The Mothers.” This novel touches on motherhood, pregnant loss, infertility struggles, unfaithfulness, betrayal, friendship, and love. Her writing is beautiful and I can’t wait to read more.
