You Be Mother: The debut novel from the author of Sorrow and Bliss

Product Information

Having emigrated myself at an early age and raising my babies without the help of family, far away from my old life, I really related to Abi.

Guess what, Stu, getting pregnant was overwhelming for her too, but she had to become a mother immediately because she had no other choice; she didn’t get to delay parenthood until she felt ready.Meg Mason has achieved something remarkable with her debut novel — Sorrow and Bliss is a raucously funny, beautifully written, emotion-bashing book about love, family and life’s curveballs that leaves you, satisfyingly, with what feels like wisdom forged in fire. Her baby’s father, Stu – an Aussie architecture student who swept into her life during his few months as an exchange student – is woefully unprepared for fatherhood.

Enduring tragic loss in her childhood, and her mother’s spiral into a catatonic, depressive state, all Abi has ever wanted is a family.I wish I could just text the link, as I have been to my friends, with the black heart and the hammer emoji, which is a much better description of what it feels like to listen.
