Maggie O’Farrell has a singular knack for sensing the magnetic fields that push and pull people in love, and in The Hand That First Held Mine, she summons those invisible forces to tell two stories. The author creates a terrific character in Lexie, and in the first man she attaches herself to, Innes Kent. O’Farrell draws a brilliant connection between Lexie, Innes, Elina and Ted. The author links the stories at the end, not too surprising, but there are some twists which convinced me that some birthrights deserve to be carried on.
This story develops when Alexandra Sinclair, renamed Lexie by the love of her life, Innes Kent, leaves her traditional family and moves to London. This parallel story, one of a woman in 1950s London and another woman in present-day London, sounded intriguing. And it starts off strongly with the character of Lexie, a headstrong country girl who moves to London on a whim.
Ulitmately, I think this story is about the ferocity of love. Specifically the love between a mother and a child. The bond that exists between them – an invisible, nearly unbreakable bond. I was a bit unsure where this book was going…who the focus of the book would be. What the focus would be. Was this a story about the cataclysmic change that happens as one becomes a mother? Both Elina and Lexie are transformed by motherhood and their individual expression of motherhood is the best I have read.
