A deeply penetrating and beautifully written meditation on the dramas surrounding this most elemental of relationships, Mothers and Sons is a collection of psychologically intricate and emotionally incisive short stories.

Each finely wrought tale gathered within Mothers and Sons focuses on a moment in which an unspoken balance shifts; in which a mother or son do battle, or experience a sudden crisis, thus leaving their conception of who they are subtly or seriously altered.

"Every relationship between mother and son is fraught, potent, loaded with volatile material and rich in hidden structure.” -- Times Literary Supplement
