Analysis of THE MOTHERS by Mary de Lopez

TITLE:  THE MOTHERS

GENRE: NOVEL

WRITTEN BY: JENNIFER GILMORE

SUMMARY:

This novel is about one woman named “Jesse”, for her is not possible to get pregnant that is the main reason why she and her husband begins a trip to an adoption agency.

During the travel she visits her mother to ask her to care her dog named Harriet.

In this visit to her mother she remembers her life and relationship with her mother and sister when he was child. And remembers too the moment when she met her husband and his mother, and the relationship between her husband and her mother and law, because her main concern is how will she be in her role of mother, the reason why she remembers that. I think the novel it´s hard to follow because is really difficult to understand the chronological order of the thoughts of the main characters.

But in the end the writer of this novel takes deep into the experience of maternal desire of one woman.  Because I think that is emotionally resonant thought in this novel.

That novel is the collection penguin’s readers.
