Because of You: The beautifully uplifting Richard & Judy bestseller

Product Information

The vocabulary of the incredibly immature Hope, and how she raises Minnie as her BFF, is really grating. I only finished it because it wasn't taking up my physical book reading time, and I wanted to have full thoughts in my journey to read the Women's Prize longlist picks.

The Irish mid-wife, the African American politician father who only cares about what people think of him; (the African American aspect was merely a cheap and obvious device to ensure the child was mixed race).It examines relationships between mothers and children, between husbands and wives and fathers and children.

Dawn French describes her book, Because of You as a love letter to her daughter, step-daughter and mother. The humour fell flat for me and the characters and their behaviour didn't feel real, no depth at all, they just bounced from one random thing to another, with a bit of light heroin addiction and alcoholism thrown in for good measure. Little Florence lifts her hand to Hope and at that moment she loses all sense of what is right and wrong and puts the baby in her night bag and carries her out to the car where her other half is waiting. About the prize nomination, you have to wonder that if the author wasn’t so famous, would she get on the list?Opis zaproponował mi: "In the same hospital, two very different women give birth to two very similar daughters.

At its core, the novel is very much a look at grief, what it means to be a parent, and the bond between mother and child. I really wanted to like this book as I’ve read and reread “A Tiny Bit Marvellous” many times, finding it warm and snug and insightful.Sal Flint has written and published over 300 chapter books for children and has recently branched out into writing picture books about topics close to her heart, such as dementia and generating kindness. I think feeling sorry for Hope also came from knowing that Florence’s dad was a self-loving idiot who would have ruined his daughter’s life, just like he did his wife. If Hope was such a good person, how did she keep the baby after her hormones settled, without eventually feeling guilt for the natural mother? There is no way a hospital would release a post-partum mother just hours after a still-birth, placenta abruption and a hot shower, without addressing something as simple as even drying up the breast milk, let alone the huge psychological issues! Ale nie można z tak niemoralnego zdarzenia robić tła dla słodkiej opowieści o córce, która staje się podobna do swojej (nie)matki, o wspaniałej relacji, bez żadnych konsekwencji, bez analizy psychologicznej, w tak płytki i krzywdzący sposób, dla samej rozrywki - no, przepraszam, no nie.
