I prefer the original title!
Dear Mother was originally titled The Middle Child. It is about Catherine, Beth, and Alex, three adult sisters who as they deal with their horrid mistreatment by their mother when they were children. if you can listen to the entire novel without shedding any tears, you are a stronger person than I.

Brillant
Excellent novel from 1 of my favourite Authors.
Narration became annoyingly inconsistent! The Initial individuality of each characters voice sounded clearly individual at the start, but they began sounding all the same around 3/4 through book so was difficult to realize who was who unless their names were actually mentioned. nice sounding voice though.
