Books for Every Mom



I got lucky: I'm sifting through a few books for a Mother's Day-themed review round-up. All of the titles are for, about, or addressed directly to, moms. Allegra Huston's Love Child, frankly, doesn't appeal to me - but those who long for Hollywood backstory will surely enjoy it.
The stunner of the pack so far has been Margaret Leroy's Yes, My Darling Daughter, a haunting tale the publisher (Sarah Crichton Books/Farrar, Straus and Giroux) had the audacity to suggest was a modern Rebecca. Well, it is. 'Nuff said, for now; I have some more reading to do. Yippee!
