THE COMPLETE BOOK OF MOTHERS-IN-LAW

Book ID/图书代码： 04560008B26540

English Summary/英文概要： Most of us either have a mother-in-law or will be one. It’s not a role most women take on gladly. Mothers-in-law are traditionally the butt of jokes and the scapegoats for family squabbles. But are they really as nasty, possessive and interfering as their reputation suggests? Luisa Dillner looks beyond the stereotype of the mother-in-law and finds they come in many different varieties; from loveable and loyal to lonely, ferocious and scheming.

There are brave mothers-in-law such as the explorer and missionary David Livingstone’s who trekked hundreds of miles across Africa to help out with the grandchildren, impossible ones like the actress Judy Garland, who picked her own son-in-law, and royal ones such as Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II who both found controlling their sons- and daughters-in-law their hardest job of all.

Far from being all bad, mothers-in-law have many redeeming features and can be sources of help and support for their sons- and daughters-in-law. With a bit of understanding and a good dollop of tolerance this relationship can be one of the most rewarding of your adult life.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 岳母或婆婆在大多數人的傳統觀念裡總是負面多於正面，想必這是因為和親生母親比較下的結果，但事實上岳母的角色並不如我們想像，作者不僅這書中詳盡介紹，更環顧歷史中所有著名好壞評價不一的岳母如：伊莉莎白女王二世（Queen Elizabeth II）維多利亞女王（Queen Victoria）茱蒂嘉蘭（Judy Garland）等來進一步分析此類姻親關係的相處方式。總觀此書，作者最後告訴我們唯有多瞭解，才是減少衝突的不二法門。(VL)
