The vast majority of academic texts on motherhood have focused on
women's experiences of the early years of mothering, while texts
covering the topic of home-leaving have tended to privilege the
young person's experience. Combining lively empirical material with
an illuminating social-theoretical framework, Trish Green's book
addresses the much neglected area of the mother's experience of
separation from her child at the time of their home-leaving. The
book makes clear how the mother's experience of separation is
silenced, first by the socio-cultural constructions of motherhood
per se, second by the privileging of the child's transition to
adulthood, and third by a neglect of the relational dimension of
this particular life-course transition. In doing so the book makes
an important contribution to debates on ageing, identity and the
life-course, and will be of great interest to sociologists with
various academic interests.
