Mother, Mother by Koren Zailckas is a beautifully executed chilling novel. Zailckas brings us on a journey of a deranged mother. The focus of who is losing their grip on reality shifts throughout the novel, leaving the reader confused, yet captured. The Hursts' seem to teeter on perfection but once they have come off their hinges the manipulation is exposed, and unexposed and exposed again. This novel will leave you rooting for the bad guy, then the good guy then the bad guy again. Only to leave you with your jaw on the floor in the end. A page turning, thought provoking novel that has earned a spot on my "to be read again" bookshelf. The novel also speaks well of families with broken homes and kids with broken hearts. The image painted shows the characters picking themselves up off the floor, and there is something beautiful in that.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
