DescriptionThis book gives inspiration and advice for daughters on making peace with Mum while there's still time. Iris Krasnow - mother, daughter and journalist - tackles the toughest relationship in the lives of many women: the mother-daughter bond. With women's life expectancy inching up past eighty, you may be embroiled with your mother well past the times your own hair turns white. The good news: Living longer means more time to make peace - and this book shows you how. Drawing on her own experience with her colourful eighty-four year old mother and the collective wisdom of more than a hundred other adult daughters, Krasnow offers a fresh perspective on how to overcome the anger, guilt and resentment that can destroy a family. The time to repair the bond is now, she reminds us - you can't kiss and make up at the funeral. The key is to let go of the fantasy mum and embrace the flesh-and-blood woman, with all her flaws. |
