When Christopher Harris climbs into his family’s dusty attic, he finds a battered old suitcase containing a letter. Inside the letter is a secret; a secret about his mother that changes everything.
Every mother loves their child. Every child deserves to be loved. But Christopher has grown up so lonely it hurts.
Finally, Christopher thinks he has a chance at happiness. A happiness he will do anything to protect, whatever the cost…
An unputdownable thriller about the lies we tell and the secrets we keep, Mother will hold you breathless until the very last page and leave you reeling. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, The Sister and Apple Tree Yard.

MY REVIEW
I’ve not read this authors previous book but I’ve added it to my wish list after reading Mother.
So let me get the negative out of the way. All my reviews are totally truthful and I do believe I need to say this. I found this book hard going at the start. I saw a few early readers saying to stick with it and so I did. Usually I can jump into a book and read it pretty quickly. However this book didn’t suck me in straight away.
The positive is once I reached a part of this story any negativity I had for this book went out of the window. I became obsessed with wanting to know what was gonna happen next. I needed to know.
This is a brilliant storyline. It’s written in such a way that you can see the story enfold in front of you.
I will certainly be recommending this book to my friends with a bit of advice- stick with it as it’s definitely worth it.
