«A Mother and Two Daughters» is Gail Godwin's novel published in paperback in 1983 (512 pages, in English).
After the patriarch's death, Nell Strickland and her two daughters, Cate and Lydia, face crises that force them to re-examine their lives. The novel follows their separate paths in a small town in the American South around 1980 and shows how the past and its silences still weigh on them; understanding them may perhaps allow them to reconcile with one another.
Finalist for the National Book Award in 1983, originally published in 1982.
A literary fiction novel centred on characters, suitable for book clubs.
