The Things You'll Never Know
“Nobody delves as deep into the guts of motherhood as Ashley Audrain; she really is in a league of her own.” —Lisa JewellFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Push, a bold, unputdownable story of motherhood, desire, betrayal, and loss told by a mother after her own death.“All those moments in life that mark a before, and an after.

They’ve found her on the hallway floor. The double doors slam on the ambulance, and Fiona watches it take her body away—but how can that be, if she’s still here in her home, with her family?

La spinta
Essere madri è il mestiere più difficile del mondo. Una verità incontrovertibile, soprattutto per una donna come Blythe. Eppure, nonostante la sua storia, ci aveva provato ad avere la famiglia perfetta. Pensa a questo ora, seduta in macchina alla vigilia di Natale, mentre spia la nuova vita di suo marito, e due occhi la spiano di rimando: Violet, la sua enigmatica figlia. Negli anni, Blythe si è chiesta se sia stata la sua infanzia fatta di vuoti e solitudini a impedirle di essere una buona madre, o se invece qualcosa di incomprensibile e guasto si nasconda dietro le durezze e lo sguardo ribelle di Violet. Quando ne parlava con Fox, il marito ormai ex, lui minimizzava, fino al giorno di quel tragico incidente che ha cambiato le loro vite. Adesso Blythe è pronta a raccontare la sua verità, e la sua voce ci guida dentro la complessità del rapporto tra una madre e una figlia, esplorandone senza pudori gli abissi. Viscerale, onesto fino alla brutalità, la lettura della Spinta colpisce come un pugno dritto allo stomaco.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Publishers Weekly Best Book 2021 Mystery/Thriller A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK "Starkly original and compulsively readable, The Push is a deep dive into the darkest nooks and crannies of motherhood."--Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author A tense, page-turning psychological drama about the making and breaking of a family--and a woman whose experience of motherhood is nothing at all what she hoped for--and everything she feared Blythe Connor is determined that she will be the warm, comforting mother to her new baby Violet that she herself never had. But in the thick of motherhood's exhausting early days, Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with her daughter--she doesn't behave like most children do. Or is it all in Blythe's head? Her husband, Fox, says she's imagining things. The more Fox dismisses her fears, the more Blythe begins to question her own sanity, and the more we begin to question what Blythe is telling us about her life as well. Then their son Sam is born--and with him, Blythe has the blissful connection she'd always imagined with her child. Even Violet seems to love her little brother. But when life as they know it is changed in an instant, the devastating fall-out forces Blythe to face the truth. The Push is a tour de force you will read in a sitting, an utterly immersive novel that will challenge everything you think you know about motherhood, about what we owe our children, and what it feels like when women are not believed.
