Q: This Sunday in the U.S is Mother's Day, in celebration, what are some of your favourite books with strong mother/child relationships?
The first book that comes to mind is "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott. "Marmie" is left alone to raise her 4 daughers while her husband is off at war. She has a special bond with each of her daughters as they struggle to survive and become young women. I get warm fuzzies just thinking about this book :)
Oh good one! I forgot about that book, but it's definitely one of the strongest mother daughter relationships in literacy. My Feature & Follow Friday
ReplyDeleteSo many people love this book! I feel guilty for not reading it. :)
ReplyDeleteHow did I forget about Marmie? I loved Little Women when I was younger. Great answer! Following back!

Great pick! I loved Little Women, but I've only seen the film, maybe I'll check out the book, too, someday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my FF. Have a nice weekend!
Little Women is such a classic. You're right it's a great mother/daughters relationship. Didn't even think that far back on my "read" list.
ReplyDeleteMy follow friday. Hope you'll visit!
Oh, I've read Little Women such a long time ago that I completely forgot everything about it. Thank you for reminding me and for stopping by my blog. I'm following through GFC :)
ReplyDeleteI will certainly agree with Little Women, an oft cited book answering this question. I have an early hardbound edition, which I keep on our piano. Can't help but pick it up and reread from time-to-time. It's a classic.
