«Mamá» is the novel by Joyce Carol Oates, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (480 pages, in Spanish).
Nikki Eaton, thirty-one years old, has never considered herself a «daughter»; her mother's unexpected death plunges her into a year of mourning in which she discovers wisdom, family ties, and an unexpected love. The novel explores loss, mother-daughter relationships, and personal transformation.
The novel was originally published as Missing Mom in 2005; this Spanish edition, from the Formato XL collection, includes the translation by Carme Camps.
An option for book clubs and for readers of contemporary fiction interested in grief and family relationships.
