‘If I had to choose, I’d rather have a sister over parents. I’d rather you over anyone.’
From the acclaimed author of Piglet comes a profound intergenerational family story that speaks to the life-altering question of whether to embrace, reject, or redefine motherhood. Mothersick explores the enduring and infuriating spell of sisterhood and the beauty, captivity, and optimism of family in its many forms.
