Another Mother's Life

AWSOME!!!!

Was fun to read, and had a difficult time putting it down.

Another Mothers' Life

I loved this book! It is the second book I read by this author and am looking forward to another novel. Good for a summer read, winter, fall and spring too! I laughed and cried along with the characters... if you can be moved to feel that way, it is a good book! Hated to see it end.

Not Coleman's best novel

I became a dedicated fan of Rowan Coleman's after totally falling in love with her novel The Accidental Mother. So I was really excited to start reading this book because the plot seemed incredible and I was really anxious to read it. But now that I finished it, I would say it wasn't all that great. But that doesn't mean I am reccomending you to not read it. My mother read it and absolutely loved it, so that is just my opinion. But I must say that I will be very disappointed if Coleman doesn't make a sequel to this book because she left the end of the book wide open for one.

Loved it

Started the book at 2 pm Sunday and was through by 6 pm. Could not put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed the book

This is an interesting psychological character study

In Farmington, Alison James and Catherine Ashley were best friends for years although their personalities were total opposites of each other. Alison was a flamboyant extrovert while Catherine was somewhat an introvert. That teenage sisterly bond dies the day seventeen year old runs away with Catherine's boyfriend Marc.--------------- Catherine never recovered from the dual betrayals even though she married her soon to be ex husband Jimmy the musician. She is especially unhappy when the married Alison and Marc return home with three children after being away for almost seventeen years. The former friends try to avoid one another, but that proves impossible soon they must confront the past that neither feels strong enough to do.------------------------- This is an interesting psychological character study of a woman who fails to let go of the big hurt that has shaped her relationships even with her husband who loves her. The story line is obviously character driven by the two former BFFs. Although readers get inside the heads of Alison and Catherine leading to a deep understanding of how each feels about the betrayal, that technique at times overwhelms the story line with too much inner soul searching and musing. Still this is a fascinating look at how one traumatic event impacts future choices including relationships.----------- Harriet Klausner
