Eleanor‘s mother is far from #Maternal !!! Just horrible!!
“Oh yes,” she said, and I heard her dismissive sideways hiss of cigarette smoke. “It was just that I wanted to tell you that you‘re a pointless waste of human tissue. That was all. Bye then, darling!” she said, bright as a knife.”

Malorie may have a strange way of showing it, but she is the ultimate Mama Bear. Everything she does, no matter how cruel it seems, is to keep her children safe.

Even when a daughter is on the opposite side of the world, her mother still worries over her.
I‘ve met both women and they‘re extraordinary!

Day 23: Can't say too much about the character of Kitty's mother in this book because *spoilers*, but she's not very #maternal.

In the tagged book Doyle examines how women have been represented in culture, often as “monsters“ & “bad mothers“ & goes onto discuss the liberating impulse of embracing the “ferocity“ of these figures. I have been meaning to read Doyle for years now & reading the blurbs on this one, it sounds flippin' fantastic. #maternal #maycharacters @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Molly is an authentique #maternal figure for Harry 🧡

This book is witty and clever. Norris‘s mom is the coolest kind of #maternal : subtle but affectionate, firm but also on the same page as her son; i.e, she can empathize well. #maycharacters @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
