"That Mother-in-Law of Mine" by Anonymous is a fictional narrative possibly written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around the delicate dynamics between Charlie Travers, a newlywed husband, and his wife Bessie Pinkerton, along with the challenges he faces with his mother-in-law, Mrs. Pinkerton. The story humorously explores themes of family relationships, particularly the trials and tribulations that often arise from the classic mother-in-law trope. The opening portion of the book introduces us to Charlie and Bessie, who are newly married and enjoying their honeymoon, albeit with the looming presence of Bessie's mother. From Charlie's perspective, Mrs. Pinkerton's interference threatens their happiness, leading to a series of humorous and tense exchanges as he attempts to win her over. As he navigates his feelings of frustration and exasperation, we witness the nuances of married life, love, and the complexities of familial obligations. The narrative sets the stage for the unfolding conflicts and comedic situations that arise from their interactions, hinting at both heartwarming moments and inevitable misunderstandings in their journey as a family.

Reading ease score: 79.6 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
