Disturbing exploration of a dark mother-daughter relationship.

Bad Fruit may be a good read for someone who enjoys exploring complex family dynamics, particularly the complicated relationships between mothers and daughters. The book is a haunting portrayal of a mother's unpredictability and a daughter's struggle to piece together her fragmented memories. Ella King's writing is both beautiful and disturbing, drawing the reader in and refusing to let go. If you're looking for a character-driven, literary thriller that explores the darker side of family ties, Bad Fruit might be the perfect pick for you.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
