From Kirkus Reviews

Mothers often look at their sons in bewilderment, struggling to understand what makes them tick. This collection of mostly original essays describes how some mothers came to termsor did not come to termswith these aliens sharing space in their homes. Stevens (a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop) is the divorced mother of two sons and began to organize this collection after her boys were grown, when she finally had time to reflect on their lives together and what she had learned from them. Faced with what she believed was a dearth of stories about mothers and sons that would corroborate her experience, she solicited 17 other women to tell their tales. The few well-known writers include Mary Gordon, who was shocked into realizing that wholesale male-bashing would now include her son, and Anne Lamott; both offer excerpts from earlier works. Styles and themes vary, ranging from Deborah Gaylan's amusing celebration of her five-year-old's dedication to TV's Star Trek, to Jo-Ann Mapson's sad account of a good son gone bad. Janet Burroway, who describes herself as an academic, a liberal, antiwar, and antigun, is presented with a son who loves the military, collects guns, and hunts. Others who tell their tales include representative ethnic mothers, single mothers, an adoptive mother, happily married mothers, and even a mother who became blind when her baby was born. The most common thread among this disparate group is how quickly each mother learned, however strong her commitment to nurture over nature, that boys are different from girlsand too soon retreat from the intense intimacy that often forms between mothers and their young sons. Overall, well-written stories, sometimes moving, sometimes funny, that might engage other mothers of sons. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Pressestimmen

The New Yorker The difficulties of raising girls have been examined so thoroughly in recent books...that it was beginning to look as though boys were getting short shrift. Between Mothers and Sons...helps to tip the scales back.

Norah Vincent The Washington Post Book World Crafted from a deeply female and loving perspective, these essays will move and possibly heal reluctant feminist mothers and sons.

Incredible 3. Dezember 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I bought Between Mothers and Sons for myself as a Mother's Day gift when my son was 3 months old. I was moved viscerally by the essays contained in this book. Although I do agree with the reviewer from Wisconsin that the collective voice of these essays is limited, I feel that the emotional tumult felt and expressed by these very talented women is universal.

Von Ein Kunde
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Stevens has gathered a well-written and insightful collection of essays by very talented women. The challenges of raising sons are presented in sometimes poignant, frequently amusing, and generally thought-provoking ways. But I kept wishing for some other perspectives. All of the women whose writings are collected here seem to be on a single page. They're all feminists; few get any child-rearing help or wisdom from the boys' fathers; most seem to have no spiritual foundation (LaMott is an obvious exception). I would have liked to read a more balanced collection of authors.

Memorable reading, great range of experiences 22. Januar 2000
Von Ein Kunde - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Each in her own way, the writers in this collection make complex connections -- with their sons and with readers. There's a great range of experiences here for the reader who wants to concentrate on the mother-son relationship rather than on family relationships in general.

I sometimes cried and more often laughed -- but I also thought about my female friends and their sons, and agreed with what I was reading -- then remembered my mother and sisters and their sons, and argued back -- considered my male friends, and understood more than I had before.

The authors had some great stories to tell, and the quality of the writing fully repaid a second (and for some essays, a third) reading. The author's own very moving contribution was my favorite, but months after reading the book, there are many moments I remember.
