The Story Of Mother And Daughter

The Story Of Mother And Daughter

I do not think that stories of mothers and daughters are easy to tell.

How could they be?

All the growth, change, love, conflict, and emotion wrapped up into one little thing – it’s a wonder something like that does not bust at the seams.

Of course, I guess it often does…

This is especially true of a mother and oldest daughter.

They can have such similar personalities and a wide spectrum of emotional expectations and needs.

I have other thoughts on Loop Group.

This was a novel called Terms of Endearment—for long my favorite among my many fictions. I have come to like a later book, Duane’s Depressed, just as much and maybe more, but Terms of Endearment still seems like my most mature fiction. It’s the story of a mother and a daughter, a subject that has always fascinated me. And Terms is the ripest fruit of this fascination, although the little-read Loop Group is also pretty good on mothers and their girls.

-Larry McMurtry, Hollywood (Amazon)
