About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
'The women in this family, we're different....'
Blythe Connor doesn't want history to repeat itself.
Violet is her first child and she will give her daughter all the love she deserves. All the love that her own mother withheld.
But firstborns are never easy. And Violet is demanding and fretful. She never smiles. Soon Blythe believes she can do no right - that something's very wrong. Either with her daughter, or herself.
Her husband, Fox, says she's imagining it. But Violet's different with him. And he can't understand what Blythe suffered as a child. No one can.
Blythe wants to be a good mother. But what if that's not enough for Violet? Or her marriage? What if she can't see the darkness coming?
Mother and daughter. Angel or monster?
We don't get to choose our inheritance - or who we are....
The Push is an addictive, gripping and compulsive listen that asks what happens when women are not believed - and what if motherhood isn't everything you hoped for but everything you always feared?

So glad I choose this book.
Difficult to describe why this book was so good. I couldn’t stop listening, and needed to know what was going to happen next. I can highly recommend this audio book.

The best audiobook I have listened to this year. I could not focus on anything else ntil I finished it. Beautiful, tense and very well written. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Wow!
Wow......just wow! This book is brilliant! It had me hooked from start to finish - I smashed it out in 2 days and can’t rate this highly enough. I am not a parent so I thought I wouldn’t really connect with it but boy was I wrong! A very real concept that gave a voice to something not spoken about within society. Wonderfully crafted novel 🤩

Brilliantly Dark
Hugely captivating, Excellently written with a very interesting take on Nature vs Nurture. I lost sleep then was late to work because I NEEDED to know how it would end! The Narrator was perfect. I can't fault this book.

Interesting!
Not my usual style of reading, however I really enjoyed this book which kept me wondering right up until the end! Interesting concept of “Nature versus Nurture”. The narrator was superb too!

Recommend
I enjoyed this book but it was so similar to Lionel Shriver’s We Need to Talk about Kevin” that I was convinced the ending would be the same so it took much of the appeal away for me. The ending wasn’t quite as drastic but I’ve never read two books quite so similar.

Anticlimactic
Was very addictive and I enjoyed reading it, but felt the ending a little underwhelming.

Couldn't stop listening.
I was engaged from the very beginning. What a great book - I actually looked forward to my commute! Highly recommend, and hope there is a sequel.
