About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Mine by Susi Fox, read by Ainslie McGlynn.

The baby in the cot is not your baby.

You wake up alone after an emergency caesarean, desperate to see your child. But when you are shown the small infant, a terrible thought seizes you: this baby is not mine.

They say you're delusional.

No one believes you. Not the nurses, your father or even your own husband. They say you're confused. Dangerous.

But you're a doctor - you know how easily mistakes can be made. Or even deliberate ones.

Everyone is against you; do you trust your instincts? Or is your traumatic past clouding your judgement? You know only one thing.

You must find your baby.

Critic reviews

Riveting. MINE perfectly encapsulates the tension between intuition and intellect in the vortex of anxiety after childbirth (Fiona Neill)
I raced through, unable to stop reading until I found out what was really going on. Gripping and thought provoking about motherhood and mental health. I loved it (Laura Marshall, bestselling author of FRIEND REQUEST)
Chilling and suspenseful, Mine bristles with paranoia, keeping you guessing until the very end. A gripping read (Karen Perry)
All stars

Loved the narrative, I did get a little bit Mixed up, but it kept me wanting to listen to it more and more, a bit of midnight listening

Great read

SPOILER ALERT


I actually thought this was half decent (if a bit dull) when I thought it was just about a woman’s emotional breakdown after giving birth in difficult circumstances. But towards the end it becomes apparent that it wasn’t that at all.

The basic plot of the book is...
Woman A gives birth.
Nurse and raped Woman B conspire to swap babies because Woman B doesn’t want her own baby.
Woman A’s baby ( now with woman B) dies.
Woman A finds out about the swap and thinks “Sod it, I’ll just keep the the woman B’s baby then and pretend it’s mine - and not give my dead baby another thought”.

Pretty sure I’ve got that right.

Oh, and let’s not forget that the baby died because the other mother didn’t wash her hands - ONCE!

Went from being a potentially worthy study of potential emotional difficulties in caesarian births to the biggest pile of ridiculous shite I can ever remember reading.

Ridiculous Premise

Engrossed until the last 20 mins... then oh dear, a totally ridiculous, unsatisfying WTF? conclusion!

Beware, awful ending!
