Mothersick by Lottie Hazell is a powerful, emotionally resonant family drama that explores motherhood, sisterhood, generational trauma, and the complicated ties that bind us. From the acclaimed author of Piglet, this deeply moving novel is perfect for readers of Paul Murray, Claire Lombardo, and literary fiction centered on family relationships.

After their parents' marriage fell apart, sisters Mara and Nell made a promise: no husbands, no children, and no repeating the mistakes that shaped their childhood. But years later, everything changes. Mara unexpectedly falls in love and becomes a mother, while Nell's carefully constructed life begins to unravel. As their lifelong pact crumbles, so does the closeness they once believed could survive anything.

Their family's fragile foundation is tested even further when their mother abruptly moves halfway around the world, leaving their aunt Jean to hold everyone together. As long-buried grief and hidden family secrets resurface, four women across two generations must confront the choices, sacrifices, and inherited wounds that have defined their lives.

Beautifully written and emotionally insightful, Mothersick is an unforgettable literary novel about the complexities of motherhood, the enduring power of sisterhood, and the ways families can both break us and help us heal. Rich with heart, sharp observations, and unforgettable characters, it is a compelling exploration of love, loss, identity, and what we choose to pass on.
