This review is from: Her Mother's Face (Hardcover)
This is an amazing story of a young girl learning to come to terms with her mother's death. Siobhan is like most little girls - she runs, and plays and has fun. But at ten she can no longer remember her mother's face; she is sad about this but cannot talk to her father, as he too is overcome with his grief. One day in the park she meets a strange lady, and the woman tells her to look in the mirror and she will see her mother there in her own face.This is a magnificent book. Books written for children that deal with grief are either very good or very bad. This one is very good. Roddy Doyle tells a great story, and in the tradition of great Irish writers, he is a master storyteller and this is truly a masterpiece. The illustrations by Freya Blackwood are done in a simple understated style. Yet they bring a great depth to the story. So pick it up and journey with Siobhan as she grows up and becomes a mother herself, yet always with the memory of her own mother. It is a good story to share with the children in your life, especially if they have lost someone close.

Her Mother's Face,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Her Mother's Face (Hardcover)
Siobhan was sad. She dearly missed her mother. She had wonderful memories of all the fun things she and her mother had done and the moments that they had shared together before Siobhan's mother had died. But she was beginning to forget what her mother her mother had looked like.Then, one day something mystical happened. A woman told Siobhan that if she wanted to know what her mother looked like she should look in the mirror. As she aged, she would see her mother's face as she was when she was that age. Her Mother's Face is a touching story with a surprise ending that will make you smile.
