Description
In this sharp, darkly funny novel, a woman’s carefully managed life begins to unravel when the demands of motherhood collide with the expectations she never agreed to—and can’t quite escape. As relationships strain and secrets surface, she’s forced to confront what it means to be “good,” to be seen, and to keep control when the ground shifts beneath her. With a keen eye for power, identity, and the quiet violence of social roles, the book explores the emotional labor of parenting and the ways women are judged, contained, and blamed. Meg Mason’s incisive, character-driven style blends wit with unease, delivering a tense, propulsive story that lingers long after the final page.
