About the Book

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO BE THE PERFECT MOTHER? A timeless story of mothers and daughters with a razor-sharp 21st century twist, this heart-wrenching debut for fans of Jodi Picoult, Jane Shemilt and The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas will make you question how you and your family spend time online Isabel Murrow is precariously balancing her career and her family. Hard-working and caring, worried but supportive, all Isobel wants, in a perilous world of bullies and temptations, is to keep her daughter Phohebe safe. Phoebe has just attempted suicide. She says it is Isabel's fault. Saving Phoebe Murrow is a timely tale about an age-old problem - how best to raise our children, and how far to go in keeping them from harm. Set amidst the complicated web of relationships at the school gate, it tells a story of miscommunication and malice, drugs and Facebook, prejudice and revenge.

Review :
A tale of bad mothers and fragile girls, Herta Feely's latest novel sweeps the reader off her feet and onto a speeding train of a plot. I couldn't put it down. You won't be able to either. Herta Feely masterfully draws us into a domestic world of petty hurts that morph into pain... Mothers and daughters beware! I did not want to put this book down. It left me thinking about it for days after. The characters are well developed and make you think about both sides of the story. It also shows the scary truth about how bullying has changed since the internet begun. As a teacher, it has made me check how to ensure I am educating my pupils on the safety of using the internet Saving Phoebe Murrow explores the motivation that drives people to take alarming steps in order to feed their own misguided agenda until the tension of the parent-teenager relationship is tested to breaking point. The real tragedy is that unless some of them remove their blinkers they will never be able to see what truly matters, or how their actions have the power to make or break others This is a Jodi Picoult kind of novel, full of domestic drama and I would recommend it to people who can cope with characters who are sometimes frustrating, sometimes unlikeable but faced with the challenges and complexities of issues we are all confronted by. This is a book to generate discussion and perhaps divide opinions, but never judgement
