Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
'The women in this family, we're different....'
Blythe Connor doesn't want history to repeat itself.
Violet is her first child and she will give her daughter all the love she deserves. All the love that her own mother withheld.
But firstborns are never easy. And Violet is demanding and fretful. She never smiles. Soon Blythe believes she can do no right - that something's very wrong. Either with her daughter, or herself.
Her husband, Fox, says she's imagining it. But Violet's different with him. And he can't understand what Blythe suffered as a child. No one can.
Blythe wants to be a good mother. But what if that's not enough for Violet? Or her marriage? What if she can't see the darkness coming?
Mother and daughter. Angel or monster?
We don't get to choose our inheritance - or who we are....
The Push is an addictive, gripping and compulsive listen that asks what happens when women are not believed - and what if motherhood isn't everything you hoped for but everything you always feared?

wow
Brutally honest. About a mother's instincts entwined with her doubts. This is a very powerful read / listen. Highly recommended.

Mind blowing
A work of genius.
Riveting, disturbing and truly insightful.
It did leave me with a heavy heart, but that’s what life can do to us.

gripping beautiful story
The wonderful narration adds to the fantasticly well written story about how different types of parent child relationships can be beautiful and heart breaking and terrifying all at once. the story had me gripped from the first few words right to the last sentence.

A masterpiece
A chilling story about the the bonds between mother and child. I finished it in two days! Dark and suspenseful. Can’t wait for another book from this author!

Gripping
I couldn’t wait to get to the next chapter after each one of this eerie tale finished.
The ending came too soon for my liking. That is my only criticism.

Wow!
Great story! It’s going to be one that sticks with me as the character development and topic are both just brilliant (and quite harrowing!)

I was engrossed!
A fabulous and terrifying look at motherhood and the notion of the maternal. I devoured it. Cleverly written and perfectly narrated. Loved it.

Written perfectly
I loved the style of writing and managed to lose myself in it. The story was gripping though did not offer much in the way of a shock or unexpected twist. It doesn't really need that either. I am looking forward to more from the author
