About this listen

’The most gripping account of motherhood since Rachel Cusk’s A Life’s Work’ Independent

A single mother wakes to blood in her mouth and flesh under her fingernails. A severed toe on the doorstep. A boy missing.

But her child needs to get to school. There’s a food shop to be done. Parents evenings, play dates and pasta for tea.

Raising her child alone, she’s done all she can to protect them. But what if she’s the thing they need protecting from the most?

Critic reviews

‘Punches you in the guts with beauty, pain and brevity, and pulls you along with the compulsion of a thriller. Lean, exquisite prose that shoots a dart to the heart. It’s about what it means to be a mother, a daughter, a woman, trying to grapple with her sanity, as she unravels and makes sense of her present by reaching back into her past. I adored it.’ Abi Morgan

Overwhelming feeling of not good enough.

This book is raw to the bone. The realism of feeling of powerlessness, unrealistic perfection. Unrealized expectations. But of love softness.
A need to cry and tear apart all there is. To express freely.
