Soon to be a major US motion picture starring Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain  Mothers'
Instinct is a dark  twisty domestic thriller in which the bond between two couples?best friends
and next-door neighbors?mutates in dangerous and deadly ways in the wake of a tragic accident.
David and Laetitia Brunelle and Sylvain and Tiphaine Geniot are inseparable friends and
next-door neighbors in a pretty  tranquil suburb. Their sons Milo and Maxime  born in the same
year  grow up together as close as brothers. But when Maxime is killed in an accident  their
idyllic world shatters. Maxime's parents  Sylvain and Tiphaine  are consumed by grief and
bitterness  while David and Laetitia are wracked with guilt for their role in the tragedy. Soon
the couples are barely speaking  although they maintain a polite façade. Then a mysterious
series of ?accidents? begins to happen to Milo  raising Laetitia's suspicions. Are their former
best friends trying to punish them by threatening their son? As an increasingly paranoid
Laetitia frantically tries to protect Milo from harm  the little civility left between the two
families curdles into outward hostility. Is Laetitia just imagining things? Or are Sylvain and
Tiphaine secretly conspiring to exact their revenge . . . and if so  who will pay? In her
American debut  blockbuster Belgian author Barbara Abel plunges into the deepest  darkest
corners of her characters' hearts and minds to explore the limits of friendship  the
overwhelming power of maternal love  and how far hate  fear  and vengeance can drive us. Tense
and blood-chilling  with a surprising final twist  Mothers' Instinct will keep you on edge
until the final page. Translated from the French by Susan Pickford
