MotherPerson

Perfect for fans of Meg Mason, Elizabeth Strout, and Lily King, MotherPerson is an emotionally fearless, brutally funny novel about midlife reckoning, identity, and the long road back to yourself. Warm, unflinching, and darkly funny―MotherPerson is a powerful literary novel about the cost of becoming, and the courage it takes to remain visible. Claire has survived everything life could throw at her―addiction, grief, ambition that didn’t pan out, and love that arrived in all the wrong forms. Now, in midlife, she’s done pretending. Moving between New York, London, Dallas, Chicago, and a remote artist’s retreat in Taos, Claire begins to unravel the roles that have defined her―wife, mother, daughter, teacher―and confront the one she buried long ago: herself.
