In this stunning collection of writing about mothers and daughters the world over, tales of pleasure and sadness, devotion and ambivalence, curiosity and bewilderment all mix, just as they do in real life. Ranging widely in time and place, with their variety of experience and emotion, these 25 stories offer keen perspectives on this complex and powerful bond. Among the contributors to this collection are Ama Ata Aidoo, Janet Frame, Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Sylvia Plath, Jamaica Kincaid, and Fay Weldon.
