Leaving one of Nine Books Featuring Mother-Daughter Relationships picked by AARP

A pink and purple background with white line drawings of mothers and daughters among the front covers of the following novels: Joan is Okay by Weike Wang, Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson, Leaving by Roxana Robinson, and Terms of Endearment by Larry McMurtry
This novel offers a rhapsodic look at late-in-life love that considers an extra element: What happens if your adult daughters do not approve? When past-middle-age and just divorced Sarah reconnects with her college love, Warren, who’s still married, sparks fly, and they tumble back into romance. They plan a whole new life together, but each of their adult daughters gets involved — one going so far as to give Warren an ultimatum. If he chooses Sarah, he’ll never see her again. What do we owe the ones we love? Should we ever have to choose a potential husband over a grown daughter?
