Does any teenage girl fully understand their mom.
Such is the case in this book.
With fathers turned into garden gnomes, clandestine meetings with the women in the neighbourhood and mysterious presents of items only dreamed about, My Evil Mother is a griping short story of the relationship between a mother and daughter

Well this is darling. A short story about the difficult relationship between mothers and daughters, especially when the mother is a little witchy and kooky. Overall intensely relatable, down to the tuna noodle casserole.
