They declared their family of origin wrecked, and the traditional structure a complete farce. From then on, all they had was each other. So, in their twenties, they made a pact: no marriages, no babies, and no repeating their parents’ mistakes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut a few years later, Mara has done the unthinkable—fallen in love and become a mother, leaving Nell behind. Mara wishes that Nell could relate to her new life, with its terrifying claustrophobia and unexpected joys, but Nell hardly recognizes her sister or the path she has chosen. Their pact now irrevocably broken, Nell throws herself into a relationship with an undeniable catch of a man without asking whether they want the same things or if she’s willing to compromise her hard-won independence. A cosmic fork in the road has changed everything between the sisters, and just when they need their mother the most, they’re confronted by the shadow of her absence and the secrets they’ve all been keeping from one another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003ePiglet\u003c\/i\u003e comes a profound intergenerational family story about the life altering question of whether to embrace, reject, or redefine motherhood. For fans of Claire Lombardo and Lily King, \u003ci\u003eMothersick \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the enduring and infuriating spell of sisterhood and the beauty, captivity, and optimism of family in its many forms.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835051573421,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/3364\/4461\/files\/5483403482633.jpg?v=1793485523","url":"https:\/\/underbrushbooks.com\/products\/9781250456847","provider":"Underbrush Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
