A review by rachhenderson
The Good Mother by Rae Cairns

3.0

Sarah is a Sydney mum who used to work as a counsellor in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. When her 16yo son is selected to attend an elite soccer camp in Dublin, she's drawn back into the violent world that she'd tried desperately to escape.

The storyline of this book was really interesting but it was let down by character development. I didn't like or care about any of the characters. They all seemed a little one-dimensional and I found myself constantly annoyed with Sarah.
