Blythe always knew that motherhood was not for her. But her beloved husband Fox dreamed of a child. And Violet was born. Alien and secretive, she loved only her father and was openly hostile to her mother. Blythe convinced herself that this was not true. However, over time, she was horrified to see how cruel Violet was to the other children, and her actions were deliberate and calculated. Fox assured her that Blythe was making it all up. "Maybe the woman is going crazy and imagining all this? Maybe she's a bad mother? These fears seemed to be dampened by the birth of her son, her greatest joy. Until the irreparable happens. Blythe realises that she can no longer justify her daughter. As well as herself...

This story sharply and uncompromisingly challenges everything we think we know about motherhood and our responsibilities to our children.
