Queen Victoria, the ultimate matriarch. Really interesting look at Queen Victoria‘s role in orchestrating marriages for her grandchildren to fulfill her (and Albert‘s) vision of a peaceful Europe ruled by family. Read this a few years ago and found it wholly absorbing.

pick#MayMoms Day 30: Not just 1 but 2 #Matriarch(s) in this novel with the 2 wives of a successful Sudanese businessman. This is a family saga like no other. The fact that it is inspired by the life of Aboulela‘s uncle Hasan Awad Aboulela, a celebrated Sudanese lyricist and poet, add an even fuller dimension to this unforgettable story. My full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-on1 - I am thrilled that Leila Aboulela shared my review in her FB page.
pickA solid gothic horror. A little too slow paced for my taste, but it delivered on its promise, and I always love seeing a woman get revenge on the rich family that wronged her.

The #Matriarch in this book is not the compassionate mother one would hope.

Molly Weasley is not only the mother to her own family, she is a mother to all. She is my favorite Harry Potter character. She is loving and strong. A true matriarch. 💚
#MayCharacters Maria von Trapp is the #Matriarch of the Trapp family, whom The Sound of Music was based on. Yay for an opportunity to use this picture again! 😂
