A local author is writing a book set before 1964. She needs a list of adult novels written before 1964 in which the protagonist's mother is dead. She said that this doesn't necessarily have to be the theme of the book, but should play a part in the story. She was able to identify several books where the protagonist is an orphan, but she is more interested in stories where just the mother is dead. Here are the few we've indentified so far:

As I Lay Dying/Faulkner

Member of the Wedding/McCullers

To Kill a Mockingbird/Lee

Can you think of others?

Thanks!

Beth McGuire
