Blythe Connor is determined that she will be the warm\, comforting mother to her new baby Violet that she herself ne ver had.
\nBut in the thick of motherhood's exhausting early days\, Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with her daughter&mdash\; she doesn't behave like most children do.
\nOr is it all in Blythe's head? Her husband\, Fox\, says she's imagining things. The more Fox dismi sses her fears\, the more Blythe begins to question her own sanity\, and t he more we begin to question what Blythe is telling us about her life as w ell.
\nThen their son Sam is born&mdash\;and with him\, Blythe has t he blissful connection she'd always imagined with her child. Even Violet s eems to love her little brother. But when life as they know it is changed in an instant\, the devastating fall-out forces Blythe to face the truth.< /p>\n
The Push \;is a tour de force you will read in a sitting\, an utterly immersive novel that will challenge everything you think you know about motherhood\, about what we owe our children\, and what it feels like when women are not believed. (Provided by the publisher)
