Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisIn the tradition of Mona Simpson's Anywhere But Here, Places to Look for a Mother tells a tale of mostly maddening mother-daughter bonds. Forgiveness is always there, but it's hard to find. And Stansbury's fractured Taylor family, led by the thoroughly eccentric matriarch, Miriam Taylor, usually loses it. With lithe prose, pitch-perfect dialogue, and gloriously real characters, author Nicole Stansbury conjures a family that proves Tolstoy right once again: All happy families are alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. The Taylors are no exception, but Places to Look for a Mother is an exceptionally good debut novel.

  • Great Literature

    Exceptionally well written book and great story line. I purchased this for my ex-wife and daughter to read and work through some mother/daughter issues. I found it interesting enough from the brief passages and plan to read it when they are through or purchase another copy.
