Things I Want My Daughters to Know: A Novel Pages: 384, Hardcover, William Morrow Brand: William Morrow Sales rank: 23268 Usually ships in 24 hours Books / Subjects / Literature & Fiction / Contemporary Customer Ratings & Reviews (most recent first) Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (out of 5) Number Of Ratings: 10 10) things i want my daughters to know I enjoyed this book. It doesn't take long to get caught up in the characters. It's a book about life and relationships. An easy but heart felt read. Rating: 4 Submitted: 10/15/2008 9) Things I The title led me to believe this would be a collection of well written wisdom, the kind I might like to pass on to one, or all, of my four daughters. However, as I read it, it was just pages about the daughters maladjusted sex lives. And, to be fair, Mama's dirty little secret at the end. OK fiction, but, I wouldn't recommend it to a serious reader. E. Mullens Rating: 2 Submitted: 9/13/2008 8) Editing?????? I haven't finished the book yet, but I find it irritating that it is stated that Barbara's lover didn't know she was pregnant, then later the lover moves away with his family because she is pregnant....surely this is blatent bad editing! Rating: 2 Submitted: 6/27/2008 7) A book about love: between mothers and daughters, sisters, and others As the once full-of-life Barbara Forbes is being treated for terminal cancer, she begins a journal of things that she wishes to share with her four daughters. She also writes each of her daughters an individual letter to be opened only after her death. There is Lisa, the oldest and most like her, full of life yet stubborn, too; Jennifer, married but obviously unhappy although refusing to talk to anyone about it; Amanda, the daughter who Barbara always considered her "own," as no father was around to raise her; and Hannah, Barbara's late-in-life baby, now left alone with her father, Barbara's grieving and lost second husband, Mark. The book opens on the day of Barbara's funeral, and so the reader gets to know Barbara only through her writings. The story is told from varying perspectives in turn, including that of Mark in addition to each daughter. Initially, everyone seems to be coping as well as can be expected with Barbara's death (which was anticipated, after all) but it doesn't take long for the delicate surface to begin to give way. Each daugther must wrestle with her own demons, negotiating her own way without her beloved mother for advice and support. Eventually--and with the help of Mark, who plays a crucial role--the family is able to survive their various conflicts and emerge on the dawn side of grief. In the end, the message of this book is a simple one, if a somewhat cliched one: that love conquers all, whether it is a mother's love for her daughters, the love between sisters, or the romantic love that binds two people together forever. Overall, a worthwhile read. Rating: 4 Submitted: 6/11/2008 6) Touching book! This is a great book. I could not put it down. As a mother, I was moved by Barbara's need to leave something for her girls. The characters are very complicated and the author gives great insight to each of them. Rating: 5 Submitted: 5/29/2008
