Recent novels about / from the perspective of mothers

As a passion project, I've been collecting contemporary novels - and compiling a list of novels - about mothers, and/or written from the perspective of mothers.

While aware this will have been covered on this forum before, I'm specifically interested in novels published in the past 2-3 years by British & Irish authors.

I'll bet I've missed some pearls. Can you help?

Just finished “Consider yourself kissed” which starts before the main character becomes a mother but is a (great) novel about motherhood.

Not what you asked but I love the memoirs we get to read by mothers now. The Ballast Seed, Twelve Moons, The Cure for Sleep, The Electricity of Every Living Thing … love them all.
