Call Me Mummy: the #1 ebook bestseller by Tina Baker

*** THE #1 KINDLE BESTSELLER *** *** A NETGALLEY BOOK OF THE MONTH *** 'Dark, heartbreaking and totally absorbing' - LORRAINE KELLY 'Brilliantly written and emotionally compulsive' - HARRIET TYCE 'A powerful and thought-provoking page turner' - KATERINA DIAMOND ________________________________________ CALL ME MUMMY. IT'LL BE BETTER IF YOU DO. Glamorous, beautiful Mummy has everything a woman could want. Except for a daughter of her very own. So when she sees Kim - heavily pregnant, glued to her phone and ignoring her eldest child in a busy shop - she does what anyone would do. She takes her. But foul-mouthed little Tonya is not the daughter that Mummy was hoping for. As Tonya fiercely resists Mummy's attempts to make her into the perfect child, Kim is demonised by the media as a 'scummy mummy', who deserves to have her other children taken too. Haunted by memories of her own childhood and refusing to play by the media's rules, Kim begins to spiral, turning on those who love her. Though they are worlds apart, Mummy and Kim have more in common than they could possibly imagine. But it is five-year-old Tonya who is caught in the middle... ________________________________________ 'Disturbing and distinctive, this is a book I couldn't put down' - AMANDA JENNINGS 'Tense and gripping, these characters will stay with me' - ALICE CLARK-PLATTS 'Psychologically twisty and utterly gripping' - LISA HALL

Call Me Mummy Reviews

Horrifying and beautiful in equal measure, the characters truly lifelike in their all too human complexities. Brilliantly written and emotionally compulsive. I loved it -- Harriet Tyce, bestselling author of Blood Orange
A powerful and thought-provoking page turner. The definition of unputdownable -- Katerina Diamond, author of The Heatwave
It's brilliant. I had to read the last half of it all in one go as I couldn't put it down -- Eddie Mair, LBC Radio
Utterly absorbing - I loved everything about this book, but especially the deeply flawed, brilliantly drawn protagonists. Such an imaginative premise and so brilliantly done -- Catherine Cooper, author of The Chalet

Another must-read is Call Me Mummy by Tina Baker, a darkly comic thriller about two women who are worlds apart - until one steals the other one's child * Waitrose Magazine *
A powerful, dark and bleak novel with broken characters that really got under my skin. Absorbing, gritty and very real -- Mel Sherratt, author of Tick Tock

Bleak but totally compelling and peppered with dark humour. Tense, twisted and totally unputdownable. Shocking and brilliant -- SJI Holliday, author of Violet

An astonishing debut. Beautifully written, but also raw and uncompromising, this is a gut-punch of a novel -- David Jackson, author of The Resident
A peerlessly original thriller, pushing at the sore edges of motherhood and childlessness. I read it with my free hand over my mouth and my heart in knots. Spectacular -- Kate Simants, author of Lock Me In

Utterly exceptional. Haunting, harrowing and very dark -- Victoria Selman, author of Snakes and Ladders

About Tina Baker

Tina was brought up in a caravan after her mother, a fairground traveller, fell pregnant by a window cleaner. After leaving the bright lights of Coalville, she came to London and worked as a journalist and broadcaster for thirty years. She's probably best known as a television critic for the BBC and GMTV. Call Me Mummy is Tina's first novel, partly inspired by her own unsuccessful attempts to have a child. Despite the grief and disappointment of that, she hasn't stolen one. So far.
