Summary

In Mother Mother, the story revolves around a family that appears outwardly perfect but is slowly revealed to be unraveling beneath the surface. The novel follows the life of a woman named Maeve, who is struggling to balance her career, her relationship with her husband, and her relationship with her children. However, as the cracks in the facade begin to show, Maeve’s past—and the lies she’s been telling herself—begin to threaten everything she’s worked for. The novel paints an intense portrait of motherhood, mental health, and the limits of what can be hidden from loved ones.
