The Mother Daughter Show

by Natalie Wexler

Overview

At Barton Friends–-a D.C. prep school so elite its parent body includes the President and First Lady–-three mothers have thrown themselves into organizing the annual musical revue. Will its Machiavellian intrigue somehow enable them to reconnect with their graduating daughters, who are fast spinning out of control?

By turns hilarious and poignant, The Mother Daughter Show will appeal to anyone who’s ever had a daughter–and anyone who’s ever been one.

Editorial Reviews

A terrific read. Funny and heartbreaking and so credible I laughed out loud.

Susan Shreve

A wise and lively look at real grown-ups, alleged adults, and women-in-training. The setting is perfect for Natalie Wexler's satire.

Susan Isaacs

Every page of this very contemporary page-turner is wri written with a heartfelt, humorous touch, with characters so vivid and real, they came to feel like friends I'd known forever.

Rachel Simon

Witty and wise throughout, The Mother Daughter Show highlights Natalie Wexler's keen perceptions--of family dynamics, social mores, and professional subcultures--and reminds us of life's one constant: change.
