Why read it?
1 author picked You Be Mother as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I like many things about this book. Meg Mason is an excellent writer and storyteller. (Her other novel, Sorrow & Bliss is a bestseller.) What I found particularly interesting and thought-provoking was the inter-generational friendship between young Abi and older Phyllida. I'm fascinated by how satisfying and complicated such friendships can be. It's a charming story with fabulous characters.
