What to expect

'Razor-edged, unsettling and compelling' Emma van Straaten, author of This Immaculate Body

'Dark and intense and such a fabulous read' 5* Reader Review

'This emotional roller coaster will keep you gripped until the very end' Heat Magazine

____________________________

The other mothers know best. Don't they?

Claire is expecting a baby. It's her dream but not everyone is as supportive as she'd like . . .

Isolated and vulnerable, she is drawn into an online group for 'natural motherhood' and is warmly embraced by the sisterhood.

As Claire withdraws further into their world and with her due date fast approaching, she is unsettled by the group's conformity and the total shunning of medical intervention.

But blind loyalty can be catastrophic - and her silence could be fatal . . .

Raw, compulsive, and utterly heartwrenching, BABY TEETH is a story about the choices mothers make and the split second between having it all and losing everything...

'Truly unnerving' Jane Bailey

Critics Review

This propulsive story is a cautionary tale about how vulnerable, isolated people can be lured into toxic communities and the catastrophic consequences this can have. It's a beautifully written account that incorporates the traumas and anxieties associated with infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy, moving slowly with a mounting sense of dread towards a startling finale
Chris Bridges
Celia Silvani perfectly captures the vulnerability of someone wanting to fit in. As her much-wanted baby's birth looms nearer, Claire is drawn ever deeper into a dark online sisterhood intent on being right at all costs. Truly unnerving
Jane Bailey
Clever, astute and subtly chilling, this novel made me extremely nervous - in a good way! With masterful pacing, the tension slowly tightens as Claire descends deeper into the toxic pull of 'mummy forums'. Celia writes effortlessly about the vulnerabilities of fertility struggles, motherhood and the different directions in which we are pulled when we are at our most fragile. I was totally absorbed
Lizzie Pook
A gripping debut. Enough plot twists to warrant reading Baby Teeth in one sitting - and perhaps a Netflix adaptation in the near future.
Glamour Magazine
I HIGHLY recommend picking up a copy!

Celia Silvani is an astute, subtle writer. Razor-edged, unsettling and compelling. Darkly perceptive.
Emma van Straaten, author of THIS IMMACULATE BODY.
A truly nuanced take on a very complex issue. Silvani wears her research lightly, and I genuinely couldn't tear my eyes away from [...] a tense and absorbing read! Loved it.
Silvia Saunders, author of HOMESICK
