Mother, Mother

by Koren Zailckas
$8.90
Compare to estimated retail price: S$20.63  

The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!

The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.

Mother, Mother
Mother, Mother

Dysfunctional family eloquently dissolves, secrets unravel.

If you were gripped by "Gone Girl" or found "We Need to Talk About Kevin" tragically enthralling, "Mother, Mother" might just feed that complex fascination with twisted family dynamics you possess. Koren Zailckas weaves a tale that taps into the dark side of motherhood and the intricacies of familial obligations with a narrative that insists on page-turning until every secret is laid bare. This book isn't just a psychological thriller; it's a mirror reflecting the monstrous and the tender within familial love.

  • ALA Alex Award (2014)
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.

Description

An electrifying debut novel about what happens when the one who should love you the most becomes your worst enemy. Sure to appeal to fans of Gone Girl, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and Room. Meet the Hurst family. Meet Violet Hurst - 16 years old, beautiful and brilliant. So why is she being accused of being a danger to herself and others? Meet her brother Will Hurst – the smartest and sweetest twelve-year-old boy around. But does he really need all that medication he is being told to take? Meet oldest sister Rose – the one who got away. She disappeared one night in her final year of school, never to be heard from again. And then meet their mother – Josephine. Perhaps it will then all start to make sense…
