Loving Your Daughter: A Novel

"A stone-cold masterpiece of psychological tension, with its final pages leaving me breathless," wrote Flynn Berry in the New York Times Book Review. The inexplicable separation between a mother and her adult daughter raises a troubling question: what harm can we unknowingly cause in the name of love? Standing on a dimly lit street thousands of miles away from home, the woman gazes through illuminated windows at two little girls. These girls are her grandchildren, belonging to the daughter she has not seen in years. At the heart of this captivating tale lies the woman's mission to comprehend how a once blissful relationship between mother and daughter has reached a point of insurmountable distance. Through a non-linear narrative, she delves into memories and suppressed emotions, retracing countless acts of parental care, each seemingly inconsequential and harmless, that may have eroded what she held most dear. With exceptional psychological acuity, Blum explores the seemingly insignificant missteps and hidden truths of family life, where the line between protection and possession can blur without our awareness. It leaves us questioning whether we can ever find our way back, and if so, how.
