Short synopsis: A story of mother daughter relationships told through the years, and the lengths taken to, or to not repeat a mothers mistakes.
My thoughts: Parts of this story were definitely hard to read. Charlotte’s alcohol addiction and the sometimes terrible mistakes she made because of her addiction. And Viva as she started walking the same path to addiction.
This is told over a number of years, and each character faced some immense growth through the story. I loved how Viva found a passion for dancing, and worked so hard to cultivate that passion.
I think ultimately even though it was difficult for her, charlotte really wanted to be a good mother. To provide a good life for her daughter. It really made me stop and take a look at my own relationship with my mom, and how I’m raising my children.
