For the Love of my Mother is written by Bridie Rodger's son. At times I found myself wondering if the words and descriptions being used were actually those of Bridie's or if her son had taken the liberty to adapt the story to keep it flowing and interesting. This was particularly the case with the detail provided of her early years making one doubt how accurate it all might be. Also, the author's decision to refer to himself in the third person even during the recall of his adult years was a decision that grated on me.
Overall, an interesting read but not one that had me putting off other things in order to get to the next chapter. ( )
