Are You My Mother?


ok, buku yang bawah ni was the version yang aku baca. i bought this book january lepas, RM 19.90 kat Harvest, Sogo.



korang, aku sebenarnya sangat DYING nak bercerita kat korang about all the books yang aku baca. but honestly, aku sangat tak pandai nak mengarang ayat, kalo suh aku bercakap je, it's much easier.
so, sini aku tulis sinopsis kat blakang buku tu je la, okay?
n i will add the ending of the story skalik...

From the age of 19, Emma Victor has had to bring up her much younger sister Stella*9 years old.
it has shaped both their lives.

Stella is nearly grown-up now, and needs Emma differently. Emma's nurturing instincts extend to her work as an aromatherapist, and are a part too of her relationship with the unreliable but irresistible Gavin. But something is missing. Emma has to confront her deepest need - a need she's been denying for years - and embark on the search for her birth mother.
*yes, Emma ni sbenanye anak angkat sahaja. dia n Stella tu kire adik bradik tiri la..

Are You My Mother? takes it's title from a children's book that Emma used to read to Stella, about a baby bird who, finding his mother gone, feels the panic of abandonment. Profoundly moving and emotionally honest, the novel chronicles Emma's search for her birth mother and her own place in the world, while exploring fundamental questions about the nature of mothering, and the ties that bind us.

anyone who's ever felt unsure of they belong will identify with Emma's plight, and her funny, sad journey towards the discovery of her sense of self.

that's the sinopsis of the story, and finally, Emma did not found her mother *her name is Ann* at all, sebab mak dia sebenarnya dah meninggal at the same years mak ayah angkat dia meninggal.
BUT, she did find her father. and her father, is actually her uncle *adik ayah angkat dia. does she has 2 uncles or she has 2 dads?? hehe
and she did felt very comfort at seeing his dad@uncle because he looks exactly like her ayah angkat yang dah meninggal tu, which she missed so much. Ann n ayah betul dia bagi Emma kat orang lain was actually sebab they were so young at that time, they could not afford to have a baby.
they give it to mak ayah Stella sbb mak ayah Stella takde anak.
after 10 years, setelah adopt Emma baru dapat Stella.
tapi, since Emma di adopt oleh mak ayah Stella, Ann ni sangat rindukan Emma sampai dia kene terima rawatan kat hosp. mental.
so, finally Emma felt ease sebab she wasn't unwanted baby actually, it's just the situation that doesn't give chance.
