Mother Hen: The Sunday Times's essential debut novel
A story of secrets, payback and finding out it's never too late to break the rules, MOTHER HENS is hilarious, scandalous and a battle-cry for everyone who's ever wanted to see what life is like when we stop trying to please other people.
Cara Carmichael's bestie is finally getting hitched, and she's over the moon because it means one thing and one thing only... Whoah, they're going to Ibiza! Swapping the school run for old skool club classics; four friends are leaving behind their kids, partners and better judgement for a mini-break filled with sun, sea, and sex...y Spanx. Mums on Tour: What could possibly go 'Pete Tong'?
Lazy days, crazy nights and child-free hangovers might seem like hedonistic heaven - but it turns out you can get into a hell of a lot of trouble, very fast, on the party island where rules are meant to be broken.
For Cara, it's her first holiday post-divorce, and a chance to forget about an explosive family feud with her stardom-seeking sister and Pina-Colada-pickled mother. With emotional baggage squeezed into her 10kg hand luggage, ultimate escapism and a chance to spread her wings beckons, or so she thinks... Even on holiday, the darkness of your past has an alarming way of catching up with you.
When a twist of fate causes sparks, and feathers, to fly - a dangerous opportunity for divine retribution arises. Faced with secrets, lies, and betrayal - does it pay to be a good egg, or do bad chicks reign supreme? Ibiza may have Amnesia, but one thing's for certain: a woman scorned may forgive, but she'll never forget.
Four friends, three nights, two murders - one heck of an adventure. A rollocking rollercoaster ride from Ibiza to Vegas, via Cheshire, Mother Hens will make you laugh, wince, and wonder what any of us are really capable of when push comes to shove...
