JCO: Mother, Missing

I was just browsing in Waterstone's in London at lunch and surprised to see
the new Joyce Carol Oates novel out here under a slightly different title.
Missing Mom is called Mother, Missing in the UK. I wonder why they decided
to change it. It sounds more like a mystery novel this way I guess, but
that's really not what the content is. There isn't much of a mystery. It's
more about the process of grief and coming to terms with how to exist
parentless in the world (even if you are already an adult)

Just thought I'd alert everyone in the UK to its publication since I hadn't
heard it was coming out yet.
