"Koren Zailckas's Mother Mother is disturbing in the best possible way: believably. The slow, subtle darkness at the core of this book starts as a trickle and grows to a flash flood, and not once does it stop feeling absolutely authentic.

It's an amazing book." - Kelly Braffet, author of Josie and Jack and Last Seen Leaving "A riveting fiction debut...it's the kind of book that keeps you up at night, featuring a mother to rival Medea or Mrs. Bates...The shocking and violent denouement shows Zailckas to be a consummate storyteller." - Publishers Weekly "A hall of mirrors reflecting chaotic maternal psychological mayhem reminiscent of Mommie Dearest or Push or Ordinary People."- Kirkus Reviews From the Hardcover edition., "A hall of mirrors reflecting chaotic maternal psychological mayhem reminiscent of Mommie Dearest or Push or Ordinary People."Kirkus Reviews, 2014 Winner of the Alex Award "Superbly unsettling...Provocative...A haunting meditation on family, love and unimaginable loss...A firecracker thriller full of whip-smart psychological insights." --San Francisco Chronicle "Zailckas is a writer to watch and treasure...fiercely disturbing...one of the most profound and insightful books about mother-child relationships when they go devastatingly wrong." --Dallas Morning News " It is a while since I've read anything as darkly funny as Koren Zailckas's Mother, Mother ...Superbly paced and structured, with dialogue worthy of Lena Dunham, Mother, Mother is an engrossing, and finally shocking, read." -- The Guardian (UK) "Koren Zailckas's Mother Mother is disturbing in the best possible way: believably.
