Recently divorced, Anna Dunlap has two passionate attachments: her daughter, four-year-old Molly, and her lover, Leo, the man who makes her feel beautiful -- and sexual -- for the first time. Swept away by happiness and passion, Anna feels she has everything shes ever wanted.
Then come the shocking charges that would threaten her new love, her new family ... that force her to prove she is a good mother.
Thought provoking, and explicit. The Selfish Mother?
I just finished this book, and boy am I exhausted. I would have loved to have given this book 5 stars, but Sue Miller's book was a little to overly explicit and graphic about everything. I felt like I was a psychologist or "Shrink" listening to every detail of Anna's (the main charactor) thoughts. This divorced mother is trying to raise her young daughter, and discover her sexuality with her slezy boyfriend. She puts herself and her loser boyfriend ahead of her daughter, drinks too much, and has only part time jobs, while refusing help from her ex or family. She continuously complains, but doesn't change anything until she HAS to. A page turner until the end. But I found myself skipping sentences and then paragraphs because of needless detail.
Buy The Good Mother: A Novel by Sue Miller At The Lowest Price!
