![]() ![]() The ending is adorable, and I loved the airport scene. I love that she is a mom and also thought that the kids are portrayed rather well - they seem real, which seems hard for authors to get right sometimes in terms of dialogue. I enjoyed the culture clashing of a Brit and a gal from Appalachia. ![]() Basham's written much more complex characters than this one, and I felt the lack here. Eisley herself is endearing but almost too endearing.she doesn't realize she's beautiful, talented, etc. The vixen out to get Wes came across as over the top and corny (sorry, y'all!), and the way that whole story line played out felt predictable to me. It all happens very easily and quickly, and perhaps it would happen that way in real life, but I wanted more. I wish that the search for Eisley's ancestors would have been more a part of the story. There's a lot of romantic gushing, and maybe I'm just not in the mood for it right now. It is a sweet, cute story, but it lacked a lot of depth (again, in comparison to her two Mitchell's Crossroads books). Some things just seemed really over the top and dramatic for me. ![]() I don't care for romances that move really fast, and the one here definitely does. I did like it, but when I compare it to the other two novels by Basham that I've read, it just doesn't do it for me. ![]() I am definitely the oddball here with my thoughts on this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ingrid’s very existence is proof of a white man’s crime, and that man’s mother will do anything-even kill-to ensure the truth remains buried.Īn evocative debut novel set during a defining period in history, A Conspiracy of Mothers tells a gripping story of love and betrayal from multiple perspectives while deftly balancing the painful legacy of apartheid with the trials of motherhood.
