This Is Where We Live

’The most gripping account of motherhood since Rachel Cusk’s A Life’s Work’ Independent

A single mother wakes to blood in her mouth and flesh under her fingernails. A severed toe on the doorstep. A boy missing.

But her child needs to get to school. There’s a food shop to be done. Parents evenings, play dates and pasta for tea.

Raising her child alone, she’s done all she can to protect them. But what if she’s the thing they need protecting from the most?

This is probably the saddest book I’ve read this year, especially towards the end. It is also a stark reminder that I will never ever want to have children (mind you, I am mentally stable). I also like how it was written. There were some good lines which I’ll probably have to go reread. :(
