"In this acclaimed novel that inspired the Academy Award-winning motion picture, Larry McMurtry created two unforgettable characters who won the hearts of readers and moviegoers everywhere: Aurora Greenway and her daughter Emma.
Aurora is the kind of woman who makes the whole world orbit around her, including a string of devoted suitors. Widowed and overprotective of her daughter, Aurora adapts at her own pace until life sends two enormous challenges her way: Emma's hasty marriage and subsequent battle with cancer. Terms of Endearment is the Oscar-winning story of a memorable mother and her feisty daughter and their struggle to find the courage and humor to live through life's hazards -- and to love each other as never before." (From Amazon)
Terms of Endearment is one of my favourite movies that I could watch a million times and not be sick of it. I was weary of picking up the novel because I was afraid it would not be as good as the movie or better and I would not like the movie as much. Yay, the book is as good as the movie and I loved both! The characters are great.
