L'instint

Blythe Connor is determined to become the loving, sweet mother she never had, but when Violet is born, all her fears run wild. She realizes that parenting has very complicated times and begins to have the feeling that she is not connecting with the girl as much as a good mother is expected to do. And as the months go by, the intuition becomes intense that there is something wrong with her daughter, who does not behave like the other children. Could it be that Violet is an evil person? Is it possible, really? Or is it all just in your head? Her husband, Fox, says she imagines things and that everything is the result of her own insecurities. And Blythe begins to wonder if she is losing her mind, as has happened to the women in her family. Instinct is a tour de force that is read in one go, a totally immersive novel that explores the darkest corners of motherhood and mental health and confronts us with the idea we have about what we owe our children. and about the limits of what a woman who feels continually questioned and judged can endure.
