About this listen
It's 1969, and mankind has leapt up to the moon, but a young mother in small-town Australia can't get past the kitchen door. Louise Ashland is exhausted - her husband, Steven, is away on the road and her mother, Gladys, won't leave her alone. At least her baby, Dolores, has finally stopped screaming and is sweetly sleeping in her cot. Right where Louise left her. Or is she?
As the day unravels, Louise will unearth secrets her mother - and perhaps her own mind - have worked hard to keep buried. But what piece of family lore is so terrible that it has been kept hidden all this time? And what will exposing it reveal about mother and daughter?
Like Mother explores what is handed down from generation to generation and asks us whether a woman's home is her castle or her cage.

The author ran out of steam
The first part of the book was ok, but the end was abrupt, silly and just didn’t make sense at all.

Long winded and Predictable Ending
I did not enjoy this book nor would I recommend it.
I grew very impatient with the plot and it grew more and more implausible as the supposed train wreak drew to a predictable ‘end’.
The storyline does little but enhance negative mother /daughter relationship stereotypes based on guilt and secrets.
