‘Her warmest novel, her most moving and possibly the best introduction to her fiction’New York Times Book Review Edwin Page, an aging but handsome university professor, is married to Cecilia, a young obstetrician who delivers babies every day but doesn’t have children of her own. When work takes Cecilia overseas, Edwin begins an unlikely friendship with 22-year-old Leila and her mother who have moved in next door. As each month passes, Cecilia seems further away, and Edwin’s desire for a child meets little resistance from Leila, who is perfectly willing to play surrogate mother – in more ways than one.The Sugar Mother explores the way the many little impacts of distance, separation and change can gather force and move people in unexpected directions. It is a delicate and disturbing story of self-deception and secret hopes.
