Review	In a year when the author was treated for breast cancer, the author grapples with what it means to be a "perfect" mother as she engages in "conversations" with her dead mother whose own struggles with breast cancer devastated their relationship and corroded the trust and love between them. In this memoir, Alice Cohen lovingly and movingly describes how she comes to accept her own limitations and imperfections through her hard-won reconciliation with her own "imperfect"mother, a complex woman who struggled with the constrictions of being a wife and mother. The Year My Mother Came Back perfectly captured my own longing for my deceased mother and the complicated, loving, hard relationship between us. It is a moving tribute to all mothers and daughter who seek to understand and forgive and love each other. I received this review copy from Netgalley and appreciate the opportunity to review it.
