Review: 5 Stars. I LOVED this book - Another excellent Kelly Corrigan. Greenie would be proud (of course he'd be proud if she made him a macaroni necklace) and her mother would be able to actually give her a solid compliment. Reading Kelly Corrigan is like sitting in a room with your BFF, drinking a glass of wine and listening as she catches you up on the latest events of her life. Her story of a complicated, ever changing mother / daughter relationship is amazingly relatable; add that to the fact that she is an excellent storyteller, a very likeable narrator and you have a great book. I rarely ever give a book 5 Stars but I felt this book deserved it. Clearly written from the heart, it is a story about a woman discovering what an excellent mother she had been blessed with although she spent the first half of her life taking her mother for granted, trying to change her and at times even wishing for a more 'fun' mom. First, caring for children whose mother had recently passed away and then parenting her own children made her understand and fully appreciate her mother. The story was so absorbing, I kept having to do a reality check and remind myself the book is a memoir, not fiction. It wasn't going to have a tidy little ending with Kelly swooping in like 'Mary Poppins' and willing the family she nannied for into eternal magical happiness. I also found myself wanting her to fall in love with Evan and stay with the family forever but then remembering that I have read her other books and I know that's not how the story goes. I highly recommend reading this book.
Review: More a Memoir and Travelogue - A thoughtful novel about a daughter who learns new appreciation for her own mother, when she is a part-time nanny for two children in Australia who recently lost their mother to cancer. Part travelogue, part reflection, part stream of consciousness, this book is touted as a reflection on mothers and daughters. However, though there was this aspect to it, I found the book interesting simply because it was written in the first person, and I think it is more a memoir of the author's trip. As such, I found it more appealing than simple "reflection". This is the way most of us learn about various aspects of life: our perceptions and thoughts change as we simply live through experiences which were not intended to make us think about what actually does come out of the experience. For this reason, I liked it, though I was confused at first as it was not what the review led me to expect. It also reflects on experiences we have where we get close to people, and have an influence on their lives, and they on ours, then because of geography or circumstance, we know we will never actually see them again. And that is sad, but just the way life works. We take from these experiences what we need at the time, and give what we have to give, then move on.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Utterly charming!
*by M***N on May 8, 2014*

Corrigan is an excellent writer and of course that makes any book a delight. Here she focuses in on her relationship with her mother and how it changes during the years as they both face the various problems in life..humor is used to balance out the more difficult parts and I did smile often. Although her father was definitely her cheerleader it was her mother's steady hand that guided her as she made her own journey through life.... Recently I read three books which centered on the mother daughter relationship .......all were different, all thought provoking....,,. for complete contrast, read WITH OR WITHOUT YOU by Domenica Ruta..,,,definitely not the middle class struggle for independence but rather a war between the gutter and sidewalk....underlined with love...dangerous mother dangerous love. ALL GONE by AlexWitchel, describes how she tries to deepen her relationship with her aging mother and better connect through food and recipes.......memories of lives well lived.
