Rose has always been the cement holding the Harding family together, and now she is gone, Eleanor is left to contend with three teenage children and barely an ounce of motherly love to share amongst them. Her twin sons, Adam and Adrian, are not intent on causing their mother grief, but her teenage daughter - the apple of Grandma Rose’s eye, spoiled and precocious Celeste, is proving to be her worst nightmare.
Ironically, both mother and daughter are two peas in a pod, struggling to tolerate each other, whilst deep down each longing to be loved by the other. Piece by Piece is an emotional and often humorous story, spanning over three generations of the Harding family. The innuendoes and tongue in cheek banter between Eleanor and Celeste, is guaranteed to strike a chord with many readers, thinking back to that time in their lives when many a mother has struggled to reign in her offspring’s tongue. This mother and daughter duo have the ability to evoke many emotions within the reader. They will make you laugh and make you cry, and at times throughout the story, one could be forgiven for wanting to choke them.
Thirty chapters, told through the eyes of the characters, taking the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride of love, lust, lies and deceit. The characters, though fictional, are believable and some may not be so loveable, but definitely very colourful. This book belongs in the women’s fiction genre under the sub-category of ‘chook-lit,’ being primarily aimed at the mature age woman. The sexual content is minimal and tastefully done, tantalising the reader’s senses, whilst at the same time entertaining them. The reader’s vivid imagination and experiences of life, will take care of the rest.
