Reviews for The Cruel Mother
Sian Busby's deeply felt and well researched book is a tale of awful enchantment.
The Times
Fascinating, part autobiography, part moving family history, with sharply etched portraits richly embedded in their social and historical milieu.
Sunday Telegraph
A gripping tale of madness and infanticide during the time of the Great War... Powerful and disturbing.
