Review: The Mothers

The Mothers by Brit Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bennett's book kept my attention for sure. This was about a young woman in Southern California, who is part of a religious Christian community. When she gets pregnant from the pastor's son, he and she, and several other characters in the book, make decisions about her pregnancy that have far-reaching impacts over decades. I thought the writing was really good, and I also appreciated the character development. There was a "Greek Chorus" who told of the background, not dissimilar from the writing in Fates and Furies, which I thought was a nice touch.
