Mother Complex

di Louise Stockman (Autore)

Field Books, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. She has two degrees, a sharp tongue, and a habit of waking up in the wrong bed. Meet Sadie: single mum, occasional freelance editor, full-time disaster. Her fourteen-year-old son, Finn, hasn't set foot in a school in over two years. He’s running with the wrong crowd, dealing God-knows-what, and coming home later and later—if at all. But Sadie? She swears he's just "finding himself." Funded quietly by her well-meaning parents—who believe Finn’s a gifted student and Sadie’s still got it together—she’s skidding from one hangover to the next, chasing validation in strangers’ beds, self-medicating a brain that won’t slow down, and scrolling past red flags with both thumbs. Is she a toxic influence or just a woman on the brink, cracking under the weight of modern motherhood, undiagnosed chaos, and her own spiralling shame? When a violent incident blows the whole illusion apart, Sadie is finally forced to look in the mirror—and at the boy she’s supposed to be raising. Raw, raunchy, and ruthlessly honest, Mother Complex is a darkly funny, painfully real thriller about the fine line between bad choices and utter collapse.
