Description

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A taut and propulsive take on the cult of motherhood and the notion of what makes a good mother. Destined to be feminist classic - it kept me up at night PANDORA SYKES
A haunting tale of identity and motherhood - as devastating as it is imaginative AFUA HIRSCH
Incredibly clever, funny and pertinent to the world we re living in at the moment DAISY JOHNSON

We have your daughter

Frida Liu is a struggling mother. She remembers taking Harriet from her cot and changing her nappy. She remembers giving her a morning bottle. They d been up since four am.

Frida just had to finish the article in front of her. But she d left a file on her desk at work. What would happen if she retrieved it and came back in an hour? She was so sure it would be okay.

Now, the state has decided that Frida is not fit to care for her daughter. That she must be re-trained. Soon, mothers everywhere will be re-educated. Will their mistakes cost them everything?

The School for Good Mothers is an explosive and thrilling novel about love and the pressures of perfectionism, parenthood and privilege.
