I find it interesting that both of these books are written from the perspective of a grown up daughter with children of her own about a mother, now gone. Each daughter remembers the relationship she had with her mother as she approached adolescence. The memories are intertwined with bits of betrayal and ambivalence and rebellion and independence and love. These books make me want to shake every woman and girl I know including myself, and tell them that "Finding your own way is not a rejection of those who've gone before." But I probably won't.
