That Kind of Mother

Understanding. The finely written prose of Rumaan Alam’s novel titled, That Kind of Mother, is one reason for fans of literary fiction to pick up this book. I recommend the novel for those readers who enjoy the discovery of psychological insight and gaining understanding of human behavior. For a male writer, Alam shows remarkable understanding of women, especially protagonist Rebecca. The novel delves into class, race, parenting and how we bridge differences and gaps in understanding.
