Anna never had a real family. She never needed one.
But when she meets her birth mother, Marlene, everything changes - because the same day, she learns she's going to have a baby of her own.
Now Anna's hurled headfirst into a new family, whether she wants it or not. At last, Marlene has a chance to become the mother she never was. She's so close, she can practically taste it.

Recenzii
Mother's Day is terrific. So dark, so twisted and one of the most batsh*t crazy characters you'll ever meet in Marlene.
Superbly written and darkly funny, Mother's Day is an epic psychological thriller that revels in the visceral horror of family relationships. So brilliantly and horrifyingly executed I simply couldn't look away. Abigail Burdess is a refreshing and original writer - don't take your eyes off her.
Mother's Day is so dark and so shockingly, fabulously funny. I absolutely adored it.
Dark, funny
This dark, crazy thriller is one hell of a ride!
Dark, brilliant, and completely and utterly compelling.
Fast and funny, dark and beautiful - I loved every page.
A startlingly original, pitch dark page-turner
Deliciously dark, dripping in malice and drenched with razor sharp wit. Burdess is a writer to be watched - and feared.
A twisted, gruesome and diabolically funny exploration of motherhood that I lapped up like a feral cat. Dark, weird and brilliant, Mother's Day will haunt you - particularly Marlene, a jaw-dropping creation, the mother of malign mothers.
A brilliant debut with all the twists and turns of Du Maurier and a stunning ending that leaves you breathless. Astonishingly good.
Messed up motherhood at its darkly funny and twisty best - what a debut thriller.
A fresh and complex story about the many layers of motherhood that twists and turns until you really can't imagine what might happen next. Startling and instantly intriguing.
Mother's Day is completely gripping and quite terrifying, an addictive story about motherhood and madness. I was utterly blindsided by its twists and turns.
Fantastic: so funny, so human - you won't be able to put it down.
Read this book only if you can drop everything else in your life until you've finished it.
Wickedly dark and devilishly funny, I loved this original take on the 'mother daughter' relationship. A must read for 2023!
Had me absolutely gripped from the beginning. A dark and claustrophobic tale.
Wickedly dark
An absolute corker. Twists and turns abound in this sharp psychological thriller that will make you sweat.
Dark and delicious
A sharply written, darkly funny, twisted page-turner about motherhood and madness.
A striking look at motherhood and mental distress. Just when you think things can't get any more shocking, they do.
Motherhood can be murder
The last thing Anna needs is a baby. She's never had a real family. Never even wanted one.
But when she meets her birth mother, Marlene, everything changes - because the same day, she learns she's going to be a mother too.
Marlene wants to be a grandmother more than anything else in the world. She's practically made for it.
And nothing - or, more accurately, no one - will stand in her way.
