The Push by Ashley Audrain
7 January
If Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk About Kevin got you thinking, you'll likely enjoy Audrain's dark yet poetic exploration of motherhood. What happens if it's not all it's cracked up to be? What happens when it's everything you feared? It's a compulsive read; expect to race through in a few days, and for it to linger in your mind for many more afterwards.
