Alison Can Read. It's a great way to meet other book bloggers!
This week's question is:
This Sunday in the U. S. is Mother's Day. In celebration, what are some of your favorite books with strong mother/child relationships?
Another series with strong mother/child bonds is George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Lady Catelyn Stark doesn't hesitate to throw herself in front of her young son, Bran, when an assassin comes after him. She sometimes acts as emissary for her eldest son in his military campaign and is one of his closest advisers. Catelyn is also willing to do whatever it takes to have her two daughters safely returned to her.
Which books did you choose for this week's Mother's Day-themed question? Just leave us a link, and we'll check them out. Thanks for stopping by!

I looove HP. Those mothers are seriously fantastic. Even Narcissa would do anything for Draco. And Petunia adores Dudley. I think Jo has talked extensively about her own relationship with her mother came through in the books. Love those books. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to finish A Game of Thrones!
Love the strong mums in fantasy :)

I can't believe I didn't think about the harry potter series and I see what you mean by A Song of Ice and Fire. I haven't read the books but I've watched the first series so I know what you're on about :)

Wow, I'm really suprised I haven't seen anyone say Harry Potter yet! That's a really good pick. Not only was Lily there for Harry and loved him while she was alive, but she sacrificed herself for him and that sacrafice protected him after she'd gone.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm a new GFC follower here! Nice to meet both of you! :)
Weasley's FTW!
