The Push by Ashley Audrain
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Blythe Connor wants to be a good mother, but the genetics of her own mother and grandmother aren’t in her favor. So when she gives birth to her daughter, Violet, and those lovey-dovey feelings don’t occur, she naturally blames herself.
But Violet is a difficult child whose affection is clearly aligned with her father, Blythe’s husband. So begins this tale of terror, of second-guessing, and of family divides.
The Push is a novel of suspense, but more than that, it’s the characterization of family, and the prose is elegant. A stunning debut. True me, you won’t be able to put it down.
