Slide 7: Claire Roth (In a Country of Mothers)
Novelist A.M. Homes has built a career out of teasing the sinister and sordid from everyday life. In her maternal thriller, In A Country of Mothers, Claire Roth is a happily married mother and therapist whose life seems perfectly content, until she meets the woman she begins to suspect is the daughter she gave up for adoption years ago. For Roth, the arrival of the "other" daughter brings out her "other" mother, as she goes so far as kidnap this woman and hold her hostage to prove her motherly love.
