In Hannah’s book we see the distance between mother and daughter, lack of affection, and a teenage hatred, yet their relationship evolves as they endure hardship together and are forced to the edge of survival.Īudrain’s story is more sinister. Though hers is the historical fiction genre rather than psychological thriller, both deal with the bond of a mother and a daughter. I just finished her book, The Four Winds. It’s fitting for Kristin Hannah’s blurb to be included on the back of this book. I would think even for women who have not undergone childbirth and nursing may find the transparent descriptions and feelings to be a little shocking or intense. I related to a lot of it but it’s definitely told in a ‘raw’ manner. It is rather graphic in terms of describing the experience of childbirth and just being a mother. ![]() I would think this book might be uncomfortable for most men to read. I’m assuming the target audience is generally women. “A mother’s heart breaks a million ways in her lifetime.”įellow author, Kristin Hannah, describes Audrain’s book as “Raw, visceral, and often disturbing” and “an intense psychological drama.” Another blurb describes it as a complex, unsettling and unflinching portrayal of motherhood. ![]()
