Lee and Victoria weren’t the only ones to love The Mother by Jane Caro… Here is what the QBD crew thought:
This month, “The Mother” by Jane Caro was chosen as the QBD Books “Fiction Book of the Month” – and for good reason.
This story follows Miriam Duffy – a respectable North Shore widow, real estate agent, and devoted mother and grandmother. When her daughter Ally was first married, Miriam was over the moon. But as Ally’s perfect husband begins to control and isolate Ally and their children, she soon feels disbelief and a growing fear. Faced with an unthinkable decision, Miriam will do anything for the people she loves most in the world. Wouldn’t you?
Having reached success as a feminist social commentator, writer, and lecturer – Jane Caro can now add “debut fiction novelist” to her list of achievements. This compelling story captures your attention, evokes many emotions, and leaves you thinking. Demanding a place on your bookshelf, this is a powerful book that will stay with you for years to come.
