Mothers and mothering are significant features of contemporary women’s writing in France, but in Marie NDiaye’s writing, mothers often appear inadequate, abusive or even murderous. This book seeks to explore what this negative representation tells us about mothers and how mothers represent their own mothering to themselves.
