This was such a charming but sad book, in the end. A gorgeous story of friendship, a celebration of found family and never giving up on what you want. Keep some tissues by you though. It is SAD at times. It’s also really funny in places too.

This book felt like the untangling of something deep unside my soul. I didn't feel like reading a story- i felt like experiencing this life story myself. I couldn't put All my Mothers down and at the same time i didn't want it to end.
It is incredibly beautifully written and full of wisdom. The story is told by Eva, a little girl at first always thinking a lot about everything. Reading you grow up with Eva and you grow with her. Through her struggles and her questions and her search for family, home and love. Eva's fuel is longing as she slowly uncovers and creates her own belonging.
The story is not only about motherhood, but also about friendship, complex emotions and becoming yourself. It is full of hope and felt like a loving hug I didn't know I needed.
