Audrain's astute portrayal of motherhood was unsettling in its insights, yet highly entertaining on the page. Not to be missed." - Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone "With its riveting prose and deep convictions, Ashley Audrain's THE PUSH had me in its clutches from the first page. I read it in one sitting and it stayed with me for days afterwards. " - Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author "THE PUSH was a poetic, propulsive read that set my nerves jangling in both horror and recognition. Raw, visceral, and often disturbing, this is an intense psychological drama that will be embraced by serious book clubs and fans of Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk about Kevin. "Starkly original and compulsively readable, Ashley Audrain's THE PUSH is a deep dive into the darkest nooks and crannies of motherhood.
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. But when life as they know it is changed in an instant, the devastating fall-out forces Blythe to face the truth. Even Violet seems to love her little brother.
Then their son Sam is born-and with him, Blythe has the blissful connection she'd always imagined with her child.
The more Fox dismisses her fears, the more Blythe begins to question her own sanity, and the more we begin to question what Blythe is telling us about her life as well. Or is it all in Blythe's head? Her husband, Fox, says she's imagining things. But in the thick of motherhood's exhausting early days, Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with her daughter-she doesn't behave like most children do.
