About this listen

What if you said the worst thing a mother could say?

What if your husband found out about it in the national press?

And what if after all that, you didn’t regret it…?

‘My life is a tight knot I would like to undo. And, yes, there’s no use crying over spilt milk but, the truth is, I’d rather die than spill any more…’

Bea has a husband and daughter. Bea also has an appointment for a termination. Her first child changed everything–her life, her relationship, her identity. Now she has a pregnancy test and a decision to face.

This is a story about the women we (think we) know, the choices we make, the friends who stand by us and how the secrets we keep and the words left unsaid can be more dangerous than any lie we tell…

Critic Reviews

"Fresh, brave, sharp and timely. And very, very readable. I strongly recommend it." (David Shannon)

"A fabulous angry roar of a book. Heartfelt and honest. Taboo breaking. Is there such a thing as being too honest…? A fantastic book club read too." (Liz Hyder, author of The Gifts)

"This may just be my new favourite novel. Bea is a fiercely relatable character who pulls back the curtain on the ways that modern motherhood changes you to the core. Difficult and beautiful, this story made me feel seen." (Gemma Hartley, author of Fed Up)
