Beschreibung

<p><b>'<i>The Mothers</i> has stayed with me since I first read it, the words and the intimacy of the prose seeping into my pores' Roxanne Gay</b> <br><br>It's the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner, a rebellious, grief-stricken, seventeen-year-old beauty. Mourning her own mother's recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor's son. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. They are young; it's not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance - and the subsequent cover-up - will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth. As Nadia hides her secret from everyone, including Aubrey, her God-fearing best friend, the years move quickly. Soon, Nadia, Luke and Aubrey are full-fledged adults and still living in debt to the choices they made that one seaside summer, caught in a love triangle they must carefully manoeuvre and dogged by the constant, nagging question: what if they had chosen differently?<br><br>In entrancing, lyrical prose, <i>The Mothers </i>asks whether a 'what if' can be more powerful than an experience itself.</p>
