Utterly believable and mesmerizing * Newsday * This is a compulsive read, sure to stir the dust * CITY AM * Stunning * New York Times AND International Herald Tribune AND Bookmarks Magazine * Cleave's heroine is by turns funny, sad, flawed, sympathetic, both damaged and indomitable, and triumphantly convincing. * Sunday Telegraph * Richly sardonic and often disarmingly poignant... How can one fail to be impressed and moved? * Guardian * Chris Cleave has the ability to create moving and beautiful scenes within a terrifying backdrop. I couldn't put it down; it's subversive, thought-provoking and well-written. * Observer, Books of the Year * Stunning... a haunting work of art. * Newsweek *
You aren't stupid. You know there's no such thing as a perfect mother. Plenty of other books will tell you there is, but this one won't lie to you. I was weak and I cheated and I was punished, but my god I loved my child through all of it. Love means you never break, and it means you're stronger than the things they do to you. I know this is true because I have been through fire, and I am the proof that love survives. I am not a perfect mother but I will tell you the perfect truth, because this is you and me talking. This is my story.

Softcover. Zustand: As New. A distraught woman writes a letter to Osama bin Laden after her four-year-old son and her husband are killed in a massive suicide bomb attack at a soccer match in London. She tries to convince Osama to abandon his terror campaign by revealing to him the desperate sadness - "I am a woman built on the wreckage of myself"--And the broken heart of a working-class life blown apart. But the bombing is only the beginning. While security measures transform London into a virtual occupied territory, the narrator, too, finds herself under siege. At first she gains strength by fighting back, taking a civilian job with the police to aid the antiterrorist effort. But when she becomes involved with an upper-class couple, she is drawn into a psychological maelstrom of guilt, ambition, and cynicism that erodes her faith in the society she's working to defend. And when a new bomb threat sends the city into a deadly panic she is pushed to acts of unfathomable desperation - perhaps her only chance for survival.
