(To see the book review with rated content analysis, please click on book cover.)
Books about the Home Front
Happier at Home by Gretchen Rubin is part memoir, part philosophy, and part experimentation as Rubin takes a year to make her home a happier one. A positive book with great suggestions!
When someone asks what you do and the response is “I’m just a mother”, then this book might shift the thinking a bit and take the ‘just’ right out of the answer. Be inspired by I Am a Mother by Jane Clayson Johnson.
Fiction for Mom
Set in the breathtaking Alaskan wilderness, first-time novelist Eowyn Ivey will enchant readers with her artistic and vivid prose in The Snow Child. If your mother has a fondness for fairy tales, this might be a book for her.
Send your mom on a trip to India! Dancing to the Flute by Manisha Jolie Amin is a beautiful tale full of music and life that could be described as being a mix of August Rush and Karate Kid set in India.
If your mom is a historical fiction fan, then CBR recommends The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig. The story is delightful and captivating, but the writing is absolutely stunning.
For a Philosophical Read
The Anatomy of Peace by the Arbinger Institute is one of those life-changing books everyone should read. It is a self-help book in a novel format.
