As it’s almost Mother’s Day here in the UK, I thought I’d choose some books about mothers. So here are six books, including a collection of short stories, a romcom, and much-loved classics, plus a few of my own books where motherhood is strongly featured.

Looking back at the books I read over the last year and sharing the ones I loved the most.

The books I read during September 2025, featuring Sarah Hope, Agatha Christie, Jessica Redland, Dan Brown, LM Montgomery, and Lucy Jane Wood.
