📚 Why We Recommend It

Beneath the title School for Good Mothers lies a searing exploration of modern motherhood—one that doesn’t shy away from the impossible standards, quiet guilt, and unspoken fears that shadow the role. This novel isn’t just a story; it’s a mirror held up to the pressure of “doing it right,” following a mother’s journey through a world that judges her every choice. With prose that’s both tender and unflinching, it asks: What does it mean to be “good” when the rules are stacked against you? Prepare to be moved, challenged, and unable to put it down—this is a book that lingers, sparking conversations long after the final page.
