Our October book of the month is Hannah Beebie’s debut novel Mother.
Cath has just 25 days of 'normality' with her newborn baby, before her daughter is diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. As her relationship with her husband cracks under the pressure, Cath joins a CF parental support group. It's here that she meets Richard, whose daughter also has CF.
Hannah Begbie’s novel was inspired by her own experience; her son was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was five weeks old. Through the novel she explores how parents respond when their worst fears are imagined and the expectations and judgements of those around them.
