Sad Mum Lady is a memoir about parenthood, life and finding a dead rat in the cubby house. Published by Allen & Unwin, June 2020
“The raw honesty of this book is catharsis verging on hysteria for anyone who has experienced a shred of motherhood like this. It is the laughter of relief and recognition, the sound of a thousand mothers sob-laughing into the void.”
Sydney Morning Herald
“I loved this book. I thought about it all day until I could read it again at night. It’s brutal and reeeeeally real, and VERY funny.”
Zoë Foster Blake
“If David Sedaris and Sheila Heti had a baby… well, there'd be a lot to unpack there. But the ensuing stories would be brutal and hilarious and endlessly readable. And they'd look a bit like Sad Mum Lady.”
