Search - Amy and Isabelle

A coming of age story, well-written, a good story about the relationship between girls and their mothers, set in the days of free love and sexual exploration. Some harsh language.

When I started this book, I had no expectations. But I was immediately intrigued by the story. The topic is uncomfortable at times, but the writing is good and keeps you interested. A deep psychological book with insights/thoughts that made me think.

A lovely account of a mother/daughter disconnect, and the ability to love though it.

A well-written tale of the relationship between a mother and daughter as the daughter becomes sexually aware and interested and the mother fights an internal battle against her own sexual secrets. The characters come alive well. The writing is flowing and subtle. The "secrets" are pretty easy to spot, though.

Wonderfully constructed story, very engaging. Poetic writing. Worth a second read.

So gritty. She really gets to the heart and soul and mind of her characters.
