Review of Catherine Taveres, “Hunter Mother Sailor Wife,” Adventitious no. 1 (Feb/Mar 2026): 114-119. — Read online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
As a fellow mother who flat-out refused to give up her pre-motherhood identity upon having a child (and who strongly feels she’s a better mother because of that refusal…), my heart went out to Cara in the opening pages of this story. I was so pleased by the outcome, and the way it was facilitated by the people around her.
Honestly one of the best stories I’ve read in ages. Gold stars all around, for Cara, for Jothi, for Taveres, for every lucky reader who gets to read this story.
