Full description for Daughters-In-Law
Few novelists have as much insight into families and relationships as the "brilliant, mesmerizing storyteller" (Washington Post) Joanna Trollope. Daughters-in-Law is an elegant, wry, and nuanced story about a woman with three sons -- and three daughters-in-law -- who must come to terms with the new configuration of her family.Rachel loves being at the heart of her large family and has devoted herself to her three sons. Even now that they're grown and married, they're still deeply attached to her. But when Luke, the youngest, brings home his wife, Rachel finds her control slipping away. Other women -- her daughters-in-law -- are usurping her position; they suddenly seem more important to her boys than she is. She can no longer count on her role as matriarch, and much to her bewilderment and grief, those she loves begin to drift out of her orbit.A crisis brings these subtle rifts to the surface, forcing the family members to find new loyalties and call old assumptions into question -- and Rachel must find a way to preserve the relationships she holds most dear.
