Rose O'Connell is barely surviving. Her marriage is rocky; her son isn't fitting in at his new school; and their tiny apartment can barely contain her family. Rose finds that life as the only mom in a uniform and name tag at the Woolf's shiny school gates isn't easy. Not so for those in the elite and secretive Circle-a tight-knit group of wealthy mothers, led by the charismatic Amala Kaur-who rule the school. When a mysterious death creates a vacancy in the Circle, Amala's shocking decision to invite Rose, an outsider, provokes resentment - especially when Rose's fortunes, self-esteem, and status start to soar. But Rose soon realizes the true price of being on the inside. Taut, complex, and compulsively readable, Such a Good Mother is a razor-sharp take on the myth of having it all.
