The Importance of Motherhood in Mural Sparks Novels

Mural Sparks novels are short and characterized by a kind of miraculous number of characters. She can handle a very large dramatic persona in the prime of Miss Jim Brody for example. And it feels like you've read a sort of 800 page novel even though it's 140 pages long. It all happens in the space of 140 pages and decades are dealt with. But she has her own temporal territory if you call it that. Her voice is mainly the voice she uses as a commanding omniscient narrator.
