A Handmaid's Tale for the 21st Century' INDIA KNIGHT

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
AN OBAMA'S 2022 SUMMER READING PICK
A BETWEEN THE COVERS NOVEMBER 2022 PICK

Frida Liu had fed and changed her toddler Harriet. She had a work deadline - an article to finish, a job hanging by a thread, a file she'd left in the office. She would go get it. Harriet would be fine. But then the neighbours heard her crying.

Soon, the state will decide that Frida is not fit to care for her daughter. That she must be re-trained. That bad mothers everywhere will be re-educated. Will their mistakes cost them everything?

The School for Good Mothers is an explosive and thrilling novel about love, perfectionism and parenthood.
