Motherthing by Ainslie Hogarth Book Review

“Motherthing ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. When Ralph and Abby Lamb move in with Ralph’s mother, Laura, Abby hopes it’s just what she and her mother-in-law need to finally connect. After a traumatic childhood, Abby is desperate for a mother figure, especially now that she and Ralph are trying to become parents themselves. Abby just has so much love to give—to Ralph, to Laura, and to Mrs. Bondy, her favorite resident at the long-term care home where she works. But Laura isn’t interested in bonding with her daughter-in-law. She’s venomous and cruel, especially to Abby, and life with her is hellish. When Laura takes her own life, her ghost haunts Abby and Ralph in very different ways: Ralph is plunged into depression, and Abby is terrorized by a force intent on destroying everything she loves. To make matters worse, Mrs. Bondy’s daughter is threatening to move Mrs. Bondy from the home, leaving Abby totally alone. With everything on the line, Abby comes up with a chilling plan that will allow her to keep Mrs. Bondy, rescue Ralph from his tortured mind, and break Laura’s hold on the family for good. All it requires is a little ingenuity, a lot of determination, and a unique recipe for chicken à la king.

Brief Motherthing by Ainslie Hogarthe

I have to say this is a hard one to review. It’s dark, has a twisted humor about it, and can most definitely be disturbing at times. The story has a brutal opening line that grabbed me immediately. “The night Ralph’s mother flayed her forearms, a woman in a red dress handed him a business card.” Tell me that doesn’t demand your attention. Yes indeed, be warned the book starts with a suicide. Based on the book blurb and the opening chapter, I thought I knew what type of story I was in for. Boy, was I wrong. And every time I thought I had a handle on the story, thought I understood where things were going…I ended up being wrong. It’s a dark and twisted deep look into depression perhaps even obsession. Ainslie Hogarth writing is so unique, she comes up with some of the oddest descriptions that if read in a vacuum would leave you scratching your head, and yet somehow work so well within the context of the story. I have to be honest, after finishing the book I held off on writing this review for a while, and even now I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the story…but I do still find myself thinking about it from time to time…so that has to mean something, right?
