Mother Courage and her Children

I really liked reading "Mouther Courage and her Children." While the play was really long, it covered a really long time span and was constantly offering new details and information. Bretch created characters that were easy to get attached to and really care about, which made me not want to put the book down until I knew what had happened to each of them. I liked how easy it was to put the play in a historical context, based on what I've already learned from that time period. Because the Thirty Years War is a time period that will always be interesting to people, and because Mouther Courage and her three children are such relatable characters, "Mouther Courage and her Children" is a play that is truly timeless.
