Summary: Engrossing
Comment: The story of three generations of women in one family, In My Mother's House is well-written and kept my interest. The story begins with Lydia in 1888, continues with Lydia's daughter Charlotte, and ends with her granddaughter Molly in 1971. There's a family secret--something that happens to Lydia as a young girl--which shapes the destinies of all three women and how they relate to one another. Lydia's story(which does intersect and impact the others) was by far the most interesting and I thought her character was the best of the three women. It may just be because she's the one who bears the secret and she also is in the book longer than anyone else. The book is a fine and engrossing study of how keeping the truth hidden can cause misunderstanding and pain in a family.
