What are some stories (real/historical or fictional) about good mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships that I can read?

Good meaning: respectful, the daughter-in-law honors the mother-in-law as her own mother, they help raise children cooperatively and/or the duo are actual friends or collaborators on a project, etc.

A novel about a good MIL/DIL relationship would be extra nice. Thanks!

Miriam's Kitchen is a lovely memoir about cooking and Judaism (in a good many of its different forms), through the recipes of the author's mother in law.

Aunt Ruth in Betsy's Wedding (Maud Hart Lovelace's last Betsy-Tacy book) was inspired by Lovelace's MIL.
