Synopsis
A Mother's Kisses is the story of Joseph, a tall, scattered looking boy of seventeen and his wonderfully indomitable mother, Meg, who is resolved, in the summer after her son's high-school graduation to start arranging his life for him, even going so far as to accompany him to college. A work of roaring comedy and emotional honesty, A Mother's Kisses is a classic of modern fiction.
Library Journal
LJ's reviewer described Friedman's 1964 farce as a "hugely entertaining, insightful novel" that tells the over-the-top story of a boy's relationship with his clingy, embarrassing mother who wants to be with him even at college. This "story-to-end-all-stories about mother and son relationships" should still be great fun. (LJ 7/64) Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
