## Description

Stay-at-home mum Fran Clarke is approaching both her thirty-seventh birthday and crisis point. Once a brilliant voiceover artist, she now hasn’t worked for years. The talent hasn’t deserted her – only her self-belief. She could have it all, if she could only see it. But with her confidence shot and a husband who no longer knows how to help her, most days all she sees is the bottom of a wine glass. Fran knows she has to stop the downward spiral before she self-destructs completely. But she hits rock bottom when she realises she can’t even solve the problems of her own two children. And if she thinks she’s a hopeless flake, imagine what the other school-run mums think of her. Being a mum can be hysterically funny. But it can also be heartbreakingly tough. That’s Motherland.
