Little Earthquakes is perfect for the new mom or a mom with young children. The characters are stereotypical, but the book captures the experience of many professional, married women trying to balance their "old" lives with the addition of a baby. The relationships the new mothers have with their own mothers adds interest to the story, but only one character seems to have a good relationship with her mom--and that relationship is not well-developed. The most interesting character in the book is Lia, who is struggling to gain control of her life after a major loss.
