Granta Books In A Country Of Mothers

For Claire Roth, an established psychotherapist with an adoring husband and children, her new patient - Jody Goodman, a witty and attractive young filmmaker - is a welcome diversion from her predictable life.Jody, successful, yet uncertain, is disarmed by Claire's interest and approval.Gradually, the boundaries between friendship and family, between love and compulsion, start to blur - especially when one of them starts to believe fanatically that some things simply cannot be coincidences, and that what they share, in fact, is the deepest bond of all.In a Country of Mothers is a transfixing psychological thriller, and with it A.M.Homes forces us to confront our own judgements about sanity, danger and desire.
