The Mothers

One sentence synopsis.. A Greek chorus of church-going elders tell the story (and pass hella judgement along the way) of a secret abortion's impact on their community in the years that follow.

Read it if you like... unlikable characters and slow-burn stories. Don't read it if you liked ‘The Vanishing Half' - a much better book in every way.

Dream casting... Kerry Washington is adapting the book for Warner Bros and will likely save it from the lackluster story on the page.
