Book: Terms of Endearment
Author: Larry McMurty
Pages: 416
This is my 69th read for the year
This is the story of Aurora and her daughter Emma. Aurora - whose entire world needs to revolve around her - is a widow how has had many suitors since her husband died. Her grown daughter, Emma,is who she worries the most about. Worried Emma married the wrong man, and when Emma is diganosed with caner - worried of what will become of her daughter's baby if Emma dies.
This was an okay book. I remember watching the movie years ago, and the books seems very different from what I remember. I have it in my head that the movie was mostly about Emma's cancer, but I might not be correct about this. So the book was startling when it was mostly about Aurora and her relationships. The book is rambilng. Emma's diagnosis is a quick part at the end. Just different than I expected.
