First of all, let me just say 鈥榳ow鈥�! The book鈥檚 blurb does in no way prepare you for the sheer power of this story.
For some weird reason, the publishers have labelled Agatha Christie鈥檚 6 Mary Westmacott novels as 鈥榬omance鈥�, just because they don鈥檛 feature any murder, when in fact they are taut psychological dramas. Our favourite author uses all her skills not only in portraying complex personalities at a crux in their lives but in setting scenes that progressively become tenser. After the first couple of chapters, I became totally engrossed in the narration, and couldn鈥檛 stop, even feeling breathless at some points.
The story seems innocuous at first: a middle-aged woman falls in love but her nineteen-year old daughter does not accept the new suitor and does everything to impede the match. Seems straightforward and yet, Christie crafts this with so much power and skill, showing us these different personalities and perceptions, and the effects and deep-reaching consequences of each鈥檚 decisions. Somehow, even though set in the 1950s, this felt 鈥榤odern鈥� or rather timeless since having human nature at its core. The author surprised me even more with her creation of a truly despicable predator - somehow you never correlate Christie with this type and yet, here she concocts a perfect amalgam of suavity and depravity!
Call me impressed!!!!

In this novel Agatha takes on the complex mother-daughter relationship. Unlike other novels she wrote under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, this one is quite fast paced ending in a Bollywood style climax. Interesting characters and incidents build up the storyline beautifully leading to a brilliant end. Must read.

I loved this book :D I was actually a bit 'afraid' that being a great fan of her crime stories I might not entirely enjoy such a different genre. But it was absolutely fantastic, well developed story with great psychological portraits and thought provoking questions. Definitely worth reading and even more worth a moment of reflection.
One could say that the story is written in a bit (sic!) obsolete mode and thus not applying to the modern (post-modern) world/lifestyle or at least not discovering anything new or appealing in respect of relationships and the overcommercialised notion of happiness. But in my opinion it's exactly the other way around. The fact that this book was written some time ago proves only that the perennial questions remain, no matter how much the world changes and how much we change. To be honest, there were moments which sent shivers down my spine making me think that deep inside we remain very simple, though we find it hard to accept it, expecting more and more and faster and more shiny and godknowswhatelse.
This book helped me to discover a completely different face of Agatha Christie's writing. I shall definitely dwell into it further!

Agatha Christie created Mary Westmacott as a secret identity that allowed her to write for her own pleasure, free from the constraints of the mystery genre. Between 1930 and 1956, Mary Westmacott published six novels.听The secret identity remained undiscovered for nearly twenty years. Even when it became widely known that Christie was Westmacott, she continued to write as Westmacott, publishing two more novels, the first of which was 鈥楢 Daughter鈥檚 A Daughter鈥� (1952). In that same year, Agatha Christie published Mrs McGinty鈥檚 Dead (Hercule Poirot #25), They Do It With Mirrors (Miss Marple #6) and opened The Mousetrap on London's West End so, I was curious to see what kind of book Agatha Christie had made time for in a year when she was already so commercially successful.
The answer was a welcome surprise: a very open and engaging contemplation on what a forty-one-year-old widow with an adult daughter should look for from her life and what relationship she should seek with her adult daughter.
This Mary Westmacott novel seemed much more grown-up than Agatha Christie's mysteries. Seventy years later, it still felt modern and relevant. It was full of gentle reflections on the problems that people create for themselves and others by trying to do what they think they ought to rather than what they really want to. It looks at the concept of sacrifice and asks whether the sacrifices a mother makes for her daughter are really for her daughter or for herself and warns that sacrifices aren't one-off events but rather are self-inflicted wounds that leave scars and may fester if not tended to.
The book is clich茅 free and non-judgemental. This story is written with great precision. The arguments between the people feel real. The way the situation escalates feels inevitable. There's a fairly unblinking confrontation of how fragile happiness is and how it differs from the pursuit of pleasure and of the dangers of loneliness and of drug addiction.
I realised how well the story was working when I found myself saying to the main character, Ann Prentice, who I know is fictional and who anyway couldn't hear me, 'Why do you want to marry this stubborn, deeply insecure man? He doesn't listen. He doesn't learn. He's not terribly bright, not good at reading people, is dismissive of women, is easily embarrassed, quick to anger and constantly tries to assert his non-existent authority. What is his appeal?'
I particularly liked meeting Dame Laura Whitstable, an old friend of Ann Prentice, who sees the world very clearly. She is given to make succinct, unemotional pronouncements about people and their motivations and limitations but is very wary of giving advice. She seemed to me to be the embodiment of the authorial voice and perhaps an idealised version of Westmacott/Christie herself.
I'm very glad I read this. I loved its distinctive voice and the insights into the emotions of the people. I also enjoyed getting a feel for what the lives of the English middle class were like in the early years after World War II.

Agatha Christie es m谩s que sus incre铆bles misterios, adentrarse a sus libros de no ficci贸n, poemarios o sus novelas 鈥渞om谩nticas鈥� es descubrir a una escritora polifac茅tica. Este libro contiene a dos de sus personajes m谩s complejos, una madre y una hija, en una relaci贸n t贸xica destructiva. Basada en la relaci贸n que Christie ten铆a con su hija, el estilo es inteligente bien y las situaciones siempre interesantes. Cuando detona la historia, no puedes parar. 鈦�

This novel was pretty awesome. It's almost unbelievable this is also written by Christie looking at her other work!
The story focuses on the relation of a mother and daughter. It's about possessiveness in relationships, the growing up of children (and what that means for a parent) and aging in general. I really think these Mary Westmacott novels are quite insightful; I daresay I even prefer them over her detective novels! (And those are already amazing!) The characters in this one weren't very likable, but that probably was one of the things that made the story work very well. It got extremely dramatic at multiple points, and even though I wasn't a huge fan of the ending, I have to admit that it worked very well. This is a must read if you want to see another side of The Queen of Crime!

膶itaju膰i ovaj roman, postala sam svesna da se zapravo u nekoj meri nerviram dok 膷itam Agatine romane pisane pod pseudonimom. Za拧to? Zato 拧to prikazuje junake sa svojim manama na veoma uverljiv na膷in, tako da prosto mo啪emo takvog junaka ili junakinju prepoznati u nekoj osobi iz stvarnog 啪ivota. A tako膽e, kada pogledam konkretno ovu knjigu, mo啪emo videti da su i odnosi junaka (ovde konkretno odnos majka-膰erka) poprili膷no realni.
Jo拧 jedna stvar koju moram spomenuti je da ne bih Merine romane okarakterisala kao ljubavne. Ima elemenata, ali akcenat knjiga nije na tome. Prosto romani zadiru mnogo dublje nego 拧to bi to mogao neki ljubavni roman, i to ne samo kad su pojedina膷ni junaci u pitanju, ve膰 i kad su u pitanju njihovi me膽usobni odnosi.
Sve u svemu, odli膷na knjiga.
Jo拧 jedna Merina knjiga i kraj. Priznajem da se ne radujem tome. Odli膷no pi拧e i sasvim joj odgovaraju ovakvi romani. 艩teta 拧to nije napisala vi拧e ovakvih romana.

No hay que negar nunca la verdad. Hay que aceptar el hecho de que s贸lo tenemos una compa帽铆a en este mundo que est谩 con nosotros desde la cuna hasta la tumba... nosotros mismos. Si llegas a un acuerdo con dicha compa帽铆a... aprendes a vivir contigo misma. 脡sa es la respuesta. Pero no siempre es f谩cil.

As a young woman goes away for a three-week trip skiing, her mother finds herself looking forward to getting together with dependable friends but what she discovers in a new man, and one that she quickly falls in love with. They are happy, looking forward to marriage and a life together 鈥� until the daughter comes home.
But suddenly, Ann Prentice finds herself struggling between the needs and wishes of her daughter, Sarah, and her intended, Richard. No matter what she does, Sarah and Richard seem to be focused on one thing: proving that they mean more to Ann than the other. Both are immature but Ann, rather than telling them what they should do for her sake and peace in their little threesome, makes a decision, a sacrifice she calls it, that triggers massive changes for all of them.
One of the amazing things I've always enjoyed about Agatha Christie, AKA Mary Westmacott, is the fine way that she has drawn characters. Realistic, sad and admirable, but first and foremost, memorable. The characters in this story are indeed memorable, but in this case, the overwhelming emotion is dislike. These are not admirable people, they don't know themselves and they make very bad mistakes 鈥� they hurt each other and hide behind their own pain.
And yes, I'm sure that these characters are very realistic. I just dislike them and their actions. And I find it very difficult to believe that they would go to the extremes that they did. Because these people came very, very close to destroying themselves 鈥� and for what?
Perhaps it's because Christie wrote these stories as psychological thrillers. This is a story of people psychologically eviscerating themselves. All supposedly in the name of love. As a mother, this was extremely difficult to read, but I would like to think that I would not have behaved as Ann does; and that my daughter doesn't react as Sarah does. Because in my mind, Ann didn't so much as sacrifice something, she turned to something much much darker and poisonous. This is a good story, just not one of my liking.

This 1952 novel is an overwhelmingly sad, bitter, discouraging and mournful tale of two lives which, through almost mindless wilfulness and personal spite, end up incredibly disappointed and frustrated. I鈥檓 not sure if this is what Christie was trying to get at, but she certainly made the point that mother-daughter relations can devolve into a seemingly endless spiral of spiteful recrimination and vitriolic resentment resulting in egotistical, hedonistic emptiness for both. It is a very well written expose of the inner workings of two psyches driven on the one hand by wilful possessiveness and on the other by a fundamental weakness of will. The reconciliation in the denouement is too brief, too tentative and generally unbelievable in order to relieve the overall impression of an unbridgeable emotional chasm.
The symmetry of the two planned marriages is almost perfect: one is spurned, the other almost grudgingly accepted. The opposition to one is vicious, the tepidness of the acceptance is the other foretells its inevitable disaster. The result for both thus turns out much the same: two souls almost totally divorced from any real feeling and obsessed with a social and materialistic whirl of self abnegation and a hedonistic pursuit of artificial sensual fulfillment. How easy it is to become a vacuous being divorced from any real contact with one鈥檚 own inner feelings.
The minor characters of Dame Laura and the maid Edith are very well drawn, with an abundance of pithy observations which quite often cut through the artifice with which the mother and daughter are often hiding behind. A version of this work which Christie adapted for the stage was not all that successful, and then after the author鈥檚 death, her daughter resisted a revival since it was felt that one of the main characters had been based on her.
Some memorable observations:
A son鈥檚 a son till he takes him a wife, a daughter鈥檚 a daughter for all of your life.
There is no greater waste of time than saying the right thing to the wrong person.
The fewer people who love you the less you will have to suffer.
Language is given you to conceal your thoughts as much as to express them.
Better to say them to think them. It鈥檚 the things that you think and don鈥檛 say that turn bitter as bile in you.
How unfair it is that women in love look their best and men in love look like depressed sheep.
An intensely uncomfortable foray into a spiteful and intensely antagonistic relationship, but well worth reading. Highly recommended.

This is the first book by Mary Westmacott I have read, so far.
I was almost abandoning it but I was curious with the enrollment of the main characters.

For people who think Christie can't do characters, you gotta read her Westmacott books. They have such a strong ability to pull you in - I literally could not put this down to the point where I was picking up my book during breaks in Court!!!
Agatha Christie really understands people and relationships, any kind of relationship. This is a great psychological novel about a mother and daughter and how families can hurt each other but then also how to move on from it. You understood each character very well. At times I was rooting for Sarah and hating Ann and then the next page I was rooting for Ann and hating Sarah. That's how good of a writer Christie is!!!
Also - I saw some other people commenting that this really reads like a stage play and I agree. Someone needs to put this on stage!!!! It has a Tennessee Williams feel to it!

Wow. I can't believe how relevant Agatha Christie's novels are, and probably will be for decades to come.
Ann and Sarah were both so different, yet so similar. Without actually voicing out their issues, they expected their love to help resolve their issues - until it doesn't.
It reminded me a bit of the premise of an old Tamil film, Keladi Kanmani, that I'd watched. But obviously, this is no movie which gives the viewers exactly what they want.
But then, that's life, isn't it?

Ms Christie could be writing for daytime dramas with this one! The heroines dilemma, for love or money - same theme as Giant鈥檚 Bread, but this one I liked!
Such a pathetic mother/daughter relationship. As I read, the dialogue sounded as if it was being performed on the stage - was that her intention? How did she relate to her own daughter? Oh how we try to analyze Ms Christie鈥檚 motives!

Really goes into the detail of the relationship between mother and daughter which was both painful and beautiful through their separate aspects of life and how they wish to lead it.
There were several times where I felt they were a bit overly involved in each others personal life's which probably lead to the disputes. I understand the fact they are mother and daughter and want to be there to support one another but I believe they should respect each others choices even if they don't like it themself and should be happy for their happiness.
Overall I did like the book, it is the first Westmacott I've read, and I have previously read some of her crime books so it was nice to see a different side of Christie. Will definitely read another one 馃憤

January 22, 2025Whew. A brutal little trip.
I have now finished reading all of Agatha Christie鈥檚 Mary Westmacott books, and I find them very challenging to sum up. Do they make me uncomfortable psychologically? Yes. Are they so readable that I can finish one in a day? Also Yes.
I think the reason they鈥檙e so effective is that Agatha doesn鈥檛 abandon her mystery-writing skills even in a book that centers on relationships. It鈥檚 almost like she鈥檚 creating a murder mystery where the victim is鈥� The Human Psyche.
It鈥檚 a concept that makes me shudder, but these are every bit as gripping to read as her detective novels (or even more so?). I don鈥檛 enjoy what鈥檚 happening on the page but I am mesmerized by the craft of it.

Such a clever story, once again! The mother-daughter relationship reminded me of the Gilmore Girls TV series, but things got a lot darker here.
I also loved the godmother Laura鈥檚 presence, as she was the one who forced Ann and Sarah to realize the traumas they caused to each other. There were some truly heartbreaking scenes.

A very interesting exploration of the relationship between a mother and daughter. It was a simple straightforward story and the plot and characters made it super easy to read. Really liked the ending and the excitement of the last scene!

Very interesting theme and it does make one think on what it means to live with hard feelings, disappointment and passive-aggressive tactics of entitlement...

Ainsi vont les filles est un roman psychologique tr猫s diff茅rent de ceux auxquels la 芦reine du crime禄 nous a habitu茅s. Mary Westmacott y brosse un tableau acide des relations m猫re-filles. Jalousie, vengeance, manipulation, ce roman 脿 l'humour pince sans rire et au cynisme f茅roce sonne si juste qu'on pourrait presque s'y reconna卯tre !
Ann est une jeune veuve s茅duisante et Sarah, sa fille, sort 脿 peine de l'adolescence. Une solide et profonde affection semble les unir mais lorsque la m猫re, qui n'est pas sans charme, d茅cide de refaire sa vie, leur relation tourne rapidement 脿 l'aigre... La jeune fille serait-elle 茅go茂ste et la m猫re trop faible? N'aurait-elle pu 锚tre heureuse si sa fille n'茅tait pas intervenue? La m猫re 脿 son tour, n'a-t-elle pas sciemment g芒ch茅 la vie de sa fille ? L'amour peut-il vraiment prendre si ais茅ment le visage de la haine? Avec l'extr锚me habilit茅 d'Agatha Christie, Mary Westmacott apporte 脿 autant de questions une r茅ponse surprenante et juste !
Vif, piquant, 脿 la fois l茅ger mais aussi tr猫s cynique, Ainsi vont les filles est un petit bijou de sarcasme et d'humour noir 脿 lire absolument !

Such a bittersweet story I did not expect. You can't help but love the mother and the daughter. The cold perceptive comments of Dame Laura, the grumpy Christian Edith with her pessimistic remarks, such a lovely set of memorable characters! Easy flowing writing of Agatha makes it a fun read. An excellent bittersweet short novel that makes you want to root for everyone's happiness. Excellent portrayal of dark emotions of good people in good relationships.
