Rendition In Pursuance Of Books You'll Like My Mother

Forget zombies, vampires and werewolves. Meet the most terrifying creature ever to walk the earth...
a mother-in-law!

After a troubled past, Francesca falls hard for Matthew. Following a whirlwind courtship and quickie wedding, he's off to Vietnam but is killed on his way there. Months later, a VERY pregnant Francesca decides it's time to meet Matthew's mother, a woman he promised she would like.

He was wrong.

Imagine being met at the door by a woman exclaiming, "You came at an unfortunate time. It was necessary to drown the kittens."

Oh, it gets better.

She then goes on to say, "Our Siamese mated with an alley cat. The kittens were no good...as is always true of any species when a thoroughbred mates with a mongrel." Her eyes moved over me, came back to my face. And then, almost instantly, as if to deny any intended slur in her words, she gave me that big, brilliant Mother-of-the-Year smile, held it.

As you might imagine, things go downhill from there.

There was a great, creepy buildup during the first half of the book, but then...well, not much. It ended the way I wanted it to, but everything seemed a bit too convenient and tidy.

I've got to hand it to my husband for his honesty. He NEVER told me I'd like his mother.
In fact, after meeting her, I told him, "Gee, your mom's really nice." "No, she's not!" he snapped.

So, you can't say I wasn't warned.

Weigh Up Regarding Books You'll Like My Mother

Suspenseful! It was an easy read that was full of action the whole way through.

A movie starring Patty Duke and Richard Thomas was made based on this book.

After rereading Aloha Means Goodbye, I decided to try other books by this author. I would probably give this one 3.5 stars. Francesca, the heroine, has never been particularly courageous or adventurous; but now, recently widowed, with a baby on the way she is determined to visit her late husband's mother, despite receiving no replies to the telegrams and letters she sent her. Although Matthew never told her much about his mother, he always ended with "You'll like my mother." But, once she

I came across this book in a used book store, liked the title and cover and bought it. Found it much better than expected. Really glad I discovered it. I wonder if the writer wrote any other books?

I read this around age 11 and found it wonderfully scary. As I recall, it's about a young pregnant girl who journeys to meet her mother-in-law after the baby's father is lost in the Viet Nam war. I was enthralled early on by such things as the narrator's description of a bakery display case at a dusty roadside cafe--I can still see the donuts sweating beads of liquified sugar in the heat and the plump flies crawling over grease-spotted waxed paper or bumping clumsily against the inside of the

One of the most unnerving mysteries I have ever read. Even to this day, I remember how frightening I found it. Great Story-telling!!
