'Ann-Marie MacDonald captures the dark hilarity of parenthood like
nobody else. I gulped down Adult Onset in a single day.' EMMA
DONOGHUE, author of ROOM 'A complex, troubling novel that cuts with
surgical precision into the sinew and muscle of family life.' -
SARAH WATERS Mary Rose MacKinnon has agreed to be a stay-at-home
mother while her partner's career takes centre stage. As she
balances childcare with the relentless needs of her own ageing
parents, into the hilarities of full-on domesticity seeps a feeling
of dread. Do others notice the dents in the expensive refrigerator?
How did those scissors wind up in her toddler's hands? When a
flare-up of a forgotten childhood illness compels her to rethink
her own upbringing, Mary Rose's world threatens to unravel and the
spectre of violence raises its head. With biting humour and
unerring emotional accuracy, Adult Onset explores the pleasures and
pressures of family bonds, so powerful and yet so easily twisted
and broken.
