Summary

Un thriller psicológico adictivo sobre un grupo de mujeres que ven cómo el sueño de la maternidad se tambalea y pone a prueba su sentido de la amistad.

Un grupo de cuatro madres recientes, que se reúnen regularmente para conversar y distraerse, se ve convulsionado cuando el bebé de una de ellas desaparece.

Una noche de copas. Unas horas de diversión. Nada podía ir mal.
 
Se hacen llamar las madres de mayo, porque es el mes en el que nacieron sus hijos. Desde entonces, se han reunido dos veces por semana en el Prospect Park de Brooklyn para compartir experiencias y preocupaciones sobre sus recién nacidos.

Una noche deciden salir un poco de la rutina, alejarse por unas horas de su estrenado papel de madres responsables y salir de copas, reírse un rato, pasarlo bien. Pero algo se tuerce irremisiblemente cuando Midas, el hijo de Winnie, desaparece mientras duerme sin que la canguro sepa dar explicación alguna y sin dejar rastro.

¿Qué peor pesadilla puede existir para una madre que no saber dónde está su hijo de apenas seis semanas? Lo que sigue es una carrera contrarreloj para encontrar a Midas en la que todas las madres del grupo tendrán que decidir cuánto están dispuestas a arriesgar para dar con el pequeño, aunque eso signifique exponer sus secretos, desafiar sus miedos, poner a prueba las vidas que tan cuidadosamente han construido e incluso cuestionarse a sí mismas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER —SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING SCANDAL’S KERRY WASHINGTON

An addictive psychological thriller about a group of women whose lives become unexpectedly connected when one of their newborns goes missing.

A night out. A few hours of fun. That’s all it was meant to be.

They call themselves the May Mothers—a group of new moms whose babies were born in the same month. Twice a week, they get together in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park for some much-needed adult time.

When the women go out for drinks at the hip neighborhood bar, they are looking for a fun break from their daily routine. But on this hot Fourth of July night, something goes terrifyingly wrong: one of the babies is taken from his crib. Winnie, a single mom, was reluctant to leave six-week-old Midas with a babysitter, but her fellow May Mothers insisted everything would be fine. Now he is missing. What follows is a heart-pounding race to find Midas, during which secrets are exposed, marriages are tested, and friendships are destroyed.

Thirteen days. An unexpected twist. The Perfect Mother is a "true page turner." —B.A. Paris, author of Behind Closed Doors
