Description

If she is a monster, then what am I? The haunting Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller.

'I think she pushed him,' I said to you quietly. 'I think she pushed him . . .'

The arrival of baby Violet was meant to be the happiest day of my life. But as soon as I held her in my arms, I knew something wasn't right.

I had always known that the women in my family aren't meant to be mothers. My husband Fox says I'm imagining it. He tells me I'm nothing like my own mother, and that Violet is the sweetest child.

But something feels very wrong. Is it her? Or is it me? Is she the monster? Or am I?

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

An extremely gripping and addictive psychological thriller that explores the darkest aspects of motherhood and trauma. Readers find it tense, haunting, and thought-provoking, drawing comparisons to The Girl on the Train and We Need to Talk About Kevin. The novel's portrayal of a mother's fears and the unnerving nature vs. nurture debate keeps readers hooked from start to finish.
