About this audiobook

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR A YEAR OFF WORK?

Meet Barri Brown. Respected teacher. Upstanding citizen of Guernsey. Down for a bit of law-breaking . . .
Barri is preparing for a year’s paid maternity leave but there’s a catch:
She isn’t pregnant.
With seven foam bumps, a wardrobe full of smock dresses and a great pregnancy heist planned, all Barri has to do is blag it until she can disappear for good, without getting caught and being sent to prison for fraud. Child’s play.
But can she really get away with telling the mother of all lies?
Praise for Motherfaker
'An unforgettable story with an unforgettable main character . . . Funny, moving, relatable and keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next' LIBBY PAGE, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lido
'I couldn’t put this down! Hilarious, surprising, and sneakily tender' NATALIE SUE, international bestselling author of I Hope This Finds You Well

'Motherfaker
is a crazy, screwball comedy with real heart and soul. I was enticed in by the hilarious premise and stayed for the brilliantly-crafted storytelling. Barri Brown is a sometimes exasperating, always entertaining, character - as logical and resourceful as she is eccentric and impetuous . . . A joyful novel of family (in all its forms), friendship and staying true to oneself.' SARAH HAYWOOD, New York Times bestselling author of The Cactus
