What if being true to yourself means hurting everyone around you? Brynn is a claustrophobic suburban mother on the brink. Eric, her husband, is transforming in dark and dangerous ways. Their daughter, Jenny, can’t fathom the storm barrelling towards her. When Brynn awakes from a coma speaking fluent French, she seizes the opportunity to start a new life in Paris, a seismic personal transformation that leaves a slew of shattered lives in its wake. Darkly funny and profoundly insightful, Mother Tongue challenges our expectations of motherhood and our beliefs about women’s lives. It is at once an exhilarating tale of escape and a warning about the cost of renewal.
