It is hard to tell about the extent of a mother's love, at what length and at what level she can go to protect her own children.
Joanne Harris, an acclaimed British author, famous for writing the award-winning novel Chocolat has been found quoting these remarkable lines about a "mother and her love":
“Children are knives, my mother once said. They don’t mean to, but they cut. And yet we cling to them, don’t we, we clasp them until the blood flows.”
Laura Quinn is another woman, who had to give up the one thing, that made her feel loved for once in her life, but still she held on to hope that one day....one day... she will again be loved.
Laura is Alison Jameson's protagonist in her new novel, Little Beauty, which opens the door to the expanse of a mother's indefinite love for her own flesh and blood. Oh no, you can't exactly call, Laura selfish, all she wanted was a small piece of happiness in her already so gloomy and lonely life. But in the end she couldn't hold to her piece of happiness, but she never regretted her life and never felt left out in this big, complicated world. Because in the end, even after losing everything, she was felt loved on her last breath.
