Search - The Good Mother

It took me a while to get into this book, and it was a slow read throughout.

This amazing book made me cry and to know a certain empathy as a mother

One of those rare novels you live rather then just read.

This book was slow and really a disappointment. I kept reading it because it had parts that were promising, but it never delivered. I would not suggest it.

Sue Miller is one of my favorite authors but this book is pretty dark.

I didn't particularly like this one. I read it because it was mentioned on the cover of _Harvesting the Heart_, though I have two other books by this author that made no impression on me (to be honest, I think it was by mistake that I even had more than other one). On the surface, I can see why this can be seen as similar to Jodi Picoult's work - the family drama, the court case... but the characters (other than the little girl), were not very real or endearing. And while the ending was in depth - it still wasn't satisfying. Mostly, it felt like a book carrying a heavy-handed feminist slant that was barely masked in the plot. I wouldn't recommend this.
