Nonfiction is Julie Myerson's new novel about mothers: what it is like to have one, what it is like to be one. In it, a mother narrates the relationship with her child who is struggling with addiction.

Description

Her best novel yet The Times

Incredibly compelling Daily Mail

Incandescent The Observer

Two parents stand by powerlessly as their only child seems intent on destroying herself. Meanwhile, the mother - a novelist - attempts to understand her uneasy, unresolved relationship with her own mother.

Weaving between childhoods past and present, as well as a current narrative laced with temptation and betrayal, this is the delicate journey of a mother, daughter, wife, and author struggling to make sense of her world.

But can a writer ever be trusted with the truth of her own story?

Clear-eyed, self-lacerating and at times frighteningly direct, Julie Myerson's latest novel explores maternal love as the emotional foundation we both crave and fear. A howl of fury, as well as a moving love letter from a mother to a daughter, this is a book about damage, addiction, recovery, and creativity.

I wolfed it all down - it's just so incredibly compelling Daily Mail

Glitteringly painful Rachel Cusk

A compulsive read. Searingly honest and raw Deborah Moggach
