Every Day is Mother's Day by Hilary Mantel

4.0

I tried to read [b:Wolf Hall|6101138|Wolf Hall (Thomas Cromwell, #1)|Hilary Mantel|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1336576165s/6101138.jpg|6278354] but couldn't get through it. Wolf Hall is quite opaque and arduous to read without the reader's knowledge of the time period and characters. This is totally different, almost a psychological thriller.

This creepy novel was a treat to read. It centers around a mother and daughter. The mother believes there are spirits living in the house and is in other ways imbalanced. The daughter is a little slow but has become completely dysfunctional because of her mother. A social worker, her (married) boyfriend, his sister and his wife are also important to the novel. Their relationships are twisted masterfully and are beautifully shown.

I'll be reading the sequel.
