| In the tradition of Mona Simpson s Anywhere But Here， Places to Look for a Mother tells a tale of mostly maddening mother-daughter bonds. Forgiveness is always there， but it s hard to find. And Stansbury s fractured Taylor family， led by the thoroughly eccentric matriarch， Miriam Taylor， usually loses it. With lithe prose， pitch-perfect dialogue， and gloriously real characters， author Nicole Stansbury conjures a family that proves Tolstoy right once again: All happy families are alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. The Taylors are no exception， but Places to Look for a Mother is an exceptionally good debut novel. |
