Maud Gone

by Kathleen Rockwell Lawrence

Book Overview

Maud Malone Devlin, 8.5 months pregnant, has two big problems-well, three if you count the size of her belly. Her birthing class instructor, the very definition of blond bombshell, is a fraud intent on selling Maud a "painless birth". And that's just the beginning of Maud's discomfort. On the eve of their first child's birth, she discovers her husband Jack has his eyes-and hands-set on the instructor when he should be focused on Maud's meditation...

By Turns Funny and Poignant

I purchased this book after having heard Kathleen Rockwell Lawrence reading excerpts from it in a coffeehouse in Hoboken, just after it was published in 1986. This "Catholic-girl coming of age and subsequently dealing with her life" story is written with wit and elegance, and was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. I have heard nothing about subsequent works by Ms. Lawrence in the quarter-century since, but I hope she is still writing. To judge from this delightful, yet poignant, debut, she is a writer who deserves to be more widely known.
