The main character Nikki is a thirty-something, independent woman who thinks she really has no need for her mom, and her mom's attempts to stay in touch and stay connected are just a hassle.

    <body><![CDATA[This novel made me cry a lot, which is very unusual for Ms. Oates and I.  As usual, her insight and beautiful, thin lines make anything she writes worth reading- this novel seemed both warmer and far more redemptive than anything else I've read of hers, less obsessed, I think, with ambiguous guilt a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42819498">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book right after my mom died and while it was hard to read about someone else having that happen so soon after I did, it put things into perspective for me. She could have died in a way like the mother in this book did and I was lucky that never happened. Also, it reminds me of a joke my...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54147043">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is probably the &quot;earliest&quot; Joyce Carol Oates novel that I've read.  It is very good; a wonderful study of a family.  There is a scene early in the novel where the author describes the dread we feel when we know we are going to discover something horrible ahead.  It is a breathtaking s...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32257945">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I must also point out that I did not like We Were the Mulvaneys.  I must also point out that I *want* to like Joyce Carol Oates' work, I admire her prolific-ness, but this story grated on me--the world felt unappealing, the characters simpering, the writing a bit flat.  There was no hook; instead, I...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57469937">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is really a 3.5 for me. Oates is a talented writer, pretty traditional in the sense of a writer of women's fictional novels, but she has good timing and uses figurative language beautifully. It was pretty slow for me in the middle chapters - too much of the same thing said in too many ways - bu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75787911">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Missing Mom by Joyce Carol Oates follows an immature, self-centered, “black-sheep” of her family to her Mom's house on Mothers Day, not knowing it will be the last time she will see Mom alive. The murder will not be a mystery, at least not for long, but it will be a trial for her family and frie...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63636703">more...</a>]]></body>
