Another Mother

[A] gripping exploration of femininity and motherhood

Best

A darkly humorous, thoughtful and thought provoking novel, along with being an absolute "up all night" compulsive read. I loved it

Kate Hamer

Unsparingly probes to the messy heart of mother/ daughter relationships. Clever and compelling. I loved it

Jane Shemilt

A brilliantly structured, fast-paced and addictively compelling read. I loved the ending most of all

Rachel Joyce

Moving and exciting and moral - immensely intelligent

Tessa Hadley

A visceral and intimate study of the mechanics of womanhood, both physically and emotionally, which will leave you asking questions about yourself and how far love stretches. I especially loved the ending

Araminta Hall

A fascinating, compulsive and quietly transgressive novel that casts a keen, exacting eye over the dynamics of a family in extremis

Jessica Moor, author of Keeper

There is nowhere near enough writing out there about how women truly experience the conflicting marvels and challenges of living inside a female body, even less about the menopause. Transgressive and gripping, this book reminds us that we disregard women over fifty at our peril

Gabriel Weston

A piercingly honest view of the flesh and blood of women's lives and the imperfect tangles of family relationships. These real, believable and maddeningly blind characters make us feel for them more and more as the story gathers pace towards a brilliant heart-stopping conclusion

Maggie Gee

A gripping read. I found it hard to put down. Addresses issues of self-identity and how it is shaped by our fertility, which as a woman, mother, and author researching and writing about women's fertility and bodies, I found fascinating

Dr Pragya Agarwal

Compulsively readable, Surrogate takes an interesting look at the complex and sometimes murky world of surrogacy and raises questions about issues to which there are no simple answers
