The story jumps from Eleanor’s memories to the present toils of motherhood, marriage, and middle age. However, repressed memories and new fears plague her instead, turning a good day into a mess of what could have been. She will be normal, functional, and happy, despite underlying anxiety and a hefty batch of unaddressed problems. The day begins in the pretext of optimism: Eleanor believes that today will be different. The story depicts the chaotic day of a Seattle mother, Eleanor Flood, who is swept into a whirlwind of childcare, failed relationships, and ghosts from the past. The obvious choice was Semple’s subsequent book, Today Will be Different. The book was remarkable, and I quickly looked for similar novels to delve into. Readers were blown away by her creative writing style, unique plot, and engaging characters. Author Maria Semple became a household name the second her book Where’d you go, Bernadette? was published in 2013.
