Description
Laura & Emma by Kate Greathead is a moving and intricately braided story about two mothers. Born into old money, Laura's life takes an unexpected turn when she meets a man who vanishes after a weekend in 1981, leaving her pregnant. This "beguiling, addictive read" follows Laura as she raises her daughter Emma in New York City over the next fifteen years. With wit and compassion, Greathead explores the many flaws and quirks that make us human, creating a cast of effervescent characters who inform each other's lives. From Laura's eccentric mother to her brother's childhood stutter, each character adds depth to this layered story about mothers, daughters, and identity. A carefully observed family story that rings true to life, Laura & Emma is a thought-provoking exploration of class conflict, single motherhood, and the discreet pretension of the 1980s Upper East Side.
