Book Review: The Mothers {Genevieve Gannon}
Goodreads Synopsis of The Mothers {Genevieve Gannon}:
Grace and Dan Arden are in their forties and have been on the IVF treadmill since the day they got married. Six attempts have yielded no results, and with each failure a little piece of their hope dies.
Priya Laghari and her husband Nick Archer are being treated at the same fertility clinic, and while they don’t face the same time pressure as the Ardens, the younger couple have their own problems.
On the same day that Priya is booked for her next IVF cycle, Grace goes in for her final, last-chance embryo transfer. Two weeks later, both women get their results.
A year on, angry and heartbroken, one of the women learns her embryo was implanted in the other’s uterus and must make a devastating choice: live a childless life knowing her son is being raised by strangers or seek custody of a baby who has been nurtured and loved by another couple.
My Review of The Mothers {Genevieve Gannon}:
As a mother, this book absolutely shredded me. My poor heart BROKE while reading…what an impossibly horrific story.
It made me think…what truly makes a mother? Biology? Environment? Both? Neither?
I personally did not go through the IVF process but I know plenty of women who did…and I can’t even imagine reading this book having gone through that process.
As I was reading, I couldn’t help but wonder how this book was going to end. All I will say is that the ending was PERFECTION. Quite possibly one of the best written endings to a book I’ve ever read.
I absolutely loved this book for so many reasons. It was SO well written, extremely thought provoking, and incredibly beautiful.
And can we talk about the STUNNING cover? Absolutely gorgeous!
Bottom Line:
This book is absolutely brilliant.
