Motherfaker by Anna Brook Mitchell: A Tale of Deception and Friendship Barri Brown is fed up. A hard-working teacher on Guernsey, she's fed up of people telling her that her biological clock is ticking. She's fed up of being told that she'll 'change her mind' when she tells her family, friends and colleagues that she doesn't ever want children and she's fed up of being overwhelmed, overloaded, unappreciated and overlooked for promotion in favour of people she's spent years covering for when they have been off on repeated maternity leave. Not only that but she doesn't really have any friends; her family is exasperated by her, despite what she sees as her best efforts to be a good Sister and Aunt (I fully empathise with her sister here), and worse still, her husband Sean has disappeared and is ghosting her, and she doesn't know why or where he is.

Due Feb 2026 🤰

A huge thank you to the incredible team at Pan Macmillan 💖💛

This morning I had to get up at 5 to do line edits. But in just over a year, there is going to be a book on the shelves that I have written.

My breast mug and I felt pretty grateful this morning.

Great cover!

There are too many wonderful books and not enough time to read them 😭

Gavin and Stacey = absolute perfection.

😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Love P&P but also have such a soft spot for PERSUASION. When he drops his pen!!! 🖊️ 🖊️🖊️

It is very far from a festive read but I am inhaling this fantastic book by Marie Tierney. Her turn of phrase is mesmerising and it is wrong-footingly heart warming despite the dark, dark story. #BookSky
