The Mothers
Bok av Brit Bennett
The Mothers is a surprising story about young love, a big secret in a small community - and the things that ultimately haunt us most. It is the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner, a rebellious, grief-stricken, 17-year-old beauty. Mourning her own mother's recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor's son. They are young; it's not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance - and the subsequent cover-up - will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth.
Liksom The vanishing half är The mothers en bok med underbara karaktärsbeskrivningar. Läsaren kommer snabbt nära karaktärerna.
