Josephine Hurst lives in the perfect house with her perfect
family at least in her own mind even though her husband Doug is an alcoholic,
oldest daughter Rose has vanished with her boyfriend, younger daughter Violet
has just been committed to an insane asylum, and son William is a socially
inept, home schooler recently diagnosed with Aspergers and Epilepsy. But then
with a controlling, narcissist for a wife and mother what can you expect? When
a family argument turns to violence it sends events into motion that reveal the
lies, secrets and illusions that the Hursts have been forced to live under.
Well written, fast paced and I think true to the symptoms and consequences of
narcissism, Mother, Mother is a
compelling read that’s hard to put down even though there were times I felt browbeat
by Josephine’s endless machinations and schemes.
