The Night Sky : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: One of the best books I have every read
Review: Mary Morris provides an insight on motherhood and how it changes a woman's life. Not only emotionally or financially, but in society's change in perception of a woman who becomes a mother. I read the book when my daughter was about 3 and I could really relate to the main character. I would recommend this book to everyone, but especially to the career woman who has recently become a mother.

Summary: A most poignant depiction of a single mother.
Review: This account of a woman struggling to find love and livlihood while in the throes of single motherhood is one of the most honest and moving portraits I've ever read. Mary Morris' talent in evoking both the absence of mother in the character, Ivy, as well as newly found rewards and challenges in her own new motherhood provides a story of both loss and redemption.
