This is a fantastic, in-depth look at mother-daughter relationships throughout literature, including the contemporary authors who still consider them today! Thank you for sharing this insight :)

It's so interesting and also devastating how the memories and experiences of childhood shape us. Both Antara and Rhys are byproducts of the abuses they suffered. Also, what a fantastic writing. I regret that I didn't find your writing earlier. Now I'm going to binge read all that is available.

Thanks, Veenita! It's good to have you here 😀 and yes, both writers express the way childhood experiences can affect us.

I really enjoy the way you make a space of ethical ellipsis in your interpretation here. I now have a new book on my list to read. Thank you for an interesting read! I have been awaiting your first post!
