Missing Mom

Missing Mom by Joyce Carol Oates was the book discussed at the May meeting of the Thursday Night Book Club.

Some of the topics we talked about: there could have been a better ending, perhaps more romantic,
losing a mother,
sadness,
Clare's falling apart was unexpected,
Clare being self absorbed,
Gwen being too nice,
the book was way too long--it could have been shorter,
the sentence fragments were annoying,
we all had mom stories.

What we liked about the book: the way the story was woven, and the role reversal of the sisters.
