An instant international bestseller and winner of the 2022 Crime Writers of Canada Best First Crime Novel, this gripping psychological drama explores the complexities of motherhood and family dynamics. Blythe Connor is determined to be the nurturing mother she never had, but her early days with her daughter, Violet, are filled with disconnection and fear. Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with Violet, who appears distant and disruptive at preschool. However, her husband, Fox, dismisses her concerns, leading Blythe to question her own sanity and the reliability of her perceptions. The arrival of their son, Sam, brings Blythe the maternal bond she always longed for, and even Violet seems to embrace her new brother. Yet, a sudden life-altering event forces Blythe to confront harsh truths about her family and herself. This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of motherhood, societal expectations, and the struggles women face when their experiences are doubted. With its suspenseful narrative and emotional depth, it challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of family life and the hidden struggles that can exist behind seemingly perfect facades.
