The Bad Mother’s Handbook, Kate Long’s first novel, was one of my favourite books of last year, do seek it out. This too is a delight. We meet Katherine aged 18, she has been brought up by her poisonous Grandmother Poll and the relationship between these two is brilliantly portrayed in a tale with many twists and turns.
We know father is dead but where is mother and what happened to her? How will Katherine get a life of her own and who is Callum? It is all very tantalising, Kate Long is a tremendous find, highly recommended. I love her.
Comparison: Kate Atkinson, Sara Banerji, Mavis Cheek.
