false <![CDATA[Life on the Refrigerator Door]]> 256003 13 <i>Life on the Refrigerator Door</i> is a poignant and deeply moving first novel about the bonds of love and frustration that tie mothers and daughters together. Told entirely in a series of notes left on the kitchen fridge — some casual, some intimate, some funny, some angry — it is the story of nine months in the life of 15-year-old Claire and her single mother. Preoccupied with their busy separate lives, rarely in the same room at the same time, they talk to each other in a series of short snippets that reflect the daily drama of school, boyfriends, work and chores that make up their days. Yet the mundane soon becomes extraordinary when a crisis overtakes their lives—a momentous change that will redefine their relationship and unfold in their exchanges on the refrigerator door. Short, powerful and unforgettable, Kuipers’ novel looks deep into the complex relationship between mothers and daughters, and the distances that can open up between people who live together but exist in their own worlds. Unfolding in a wonderfully simple and intimate narrative, Life on the Refrigerator Door will appeal to readers across the generations, delivering universal lessons about love. 1354553 book 1 9 2007 Life on the Refrigerator Door total:791|5:140|4:206|3:283|2:130|1:32| 791 2665 1190 335 2 3 false false Wed Mar 19 11:16:41 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 24 09:38:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 2 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 11 14:38:48 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 12 05:49:06 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 3 false false Sat Jan 17 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 03:49:06 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 03:49:06 -0800 2009
