Review
As emotionally satisfying as it is simply constructed, The Mother tells the tale of every woman's worst nightmare: losing a child, then having to face in court the man accused of murdering that child Mail on Sunday Event Magazine Skilfully plotted and heart-wrenching Stylist A compelling novel that gets into the head of a mother attending the trial of the boy accused of murdering her son. Her story gathers momentum and tension until the final verdict Woman & Home A powerful book that will cut you to the quick Sun Thrilling, tense and poignant Heat A harrowing tale of a mother's grief where nothing is certain Essentials Magazine Love, loss, pain, race, poverty, abuse and redemption are all beautifully played out in Edwards' novel about a mother struggling to not just 'remain alive, but live.' Edwards' story moves us in and out of a courtroom and into the heart of human suffering and ultimate strength Naseem Rakha, author of The Crying Tree A wonderfully vivid and arresting portrait of a mother facing up to the ultimate horror Scotsman Magazine A close, vivid portrait of a mother's unrelenting mission to avoid anger and blame, instead finding real justice and necessary closure Publishers' Weekly
