The “Oprah’s Book Club” sticker on White Oleander’s cover makes this book very easy to “poo poo”. It’s cathartic. It’s a women’s novel. But devaluing the novel on these assumptions makes readers miss out on the novel’s exploration of the female psyche. White Oleander is an involved novel. It details the complexities of the mother daughter experience, showing the power each one holds over the other. It is not a detached, omniscient narrator novel. Reading it like it is would be doing yourself a disservice. For me, the plot culminated when Astrid was in the delivery room with Niki. She notices that women in labor cry out for their mothers, even if their mothers mistreated or abandoned them. This moment shows just how far the mother daughter relationship affects the female psyche. I did notice some problems the ending. Astrid has now found her father and is in a relationship with a boy she had lost contact with. The plot jumped—it provided no logical connection as to how these things happened. The ending seems tacked on; the novel was complete after Niki admits that she needed Astrid. The natural ending is not happy, but it is contented. Then the plot goes on to impose this overly happy ending that seems out of place. It needs to be noted that males aren’t favorably portrayed. This has caused some people, mostly males, to be upset. To this issue I would pose the question: What about Steinbeck’s portrayal of females? When he creates one-dimensional female characters, female readers are asked to look beyond the sexism in order to see what the novel has to offer (in terms of plot, themes, etc.). With White Oleander, I ask males to do the same. This book is about the female psyche. The torture the author had to put Astrid through in order to pick apart the psyche might be too intense for some readers. That’s fine. Just because some readers cannot connect with it, though, is not an excuse to discount the literary value of the book itself.
