The Mother-in-Law: A Novel Free Audiobook Download by Sally Hepworth


A British woman and her husband move to a rural town in the US after receiving a promotion. They are excited for the opportunity, but soon realize that their new lives will be complicated by their in-laws. Their mother-in-law is an old-world immigrant from Ukraine who values tradition and has no qualms about cutting her grandchildren out of her life if they don't do things her way while her son is having an affair with the woman's daughter-in-law.

A mother-in-law who has long been a thorn in her daughter's side is no longer a problem because she got hit by a bus.

The Mother-in-Law is a novel by Sally Hepworth, which tells the story of a woman's relationship with her mother-in-law. This audiobook was narrated by Barrie Kreinik and features her in the title role.

The Mother-in-Law is a scathing and chuckled-at look into the lives of British suburbanites. Our protagonist, Sheila, reminisces about her life as an angry young woman who was forced by her mother-in-law to take on babysitting duties because she has "no time for her own life." The two women who are fighting over the spoils are both selfish, inconsiderate, and bitter in their own ways. Everyone who is in their life takes advantage of their weaknesses: wives cheat on them, husbands begrudge the free babysitting hours, sons deny any responsibility to help with childcare when they finally have a family to support them (not that you'd want them around anyways).

'The Mother-in-Law' tells the story of a woman named Faye who is stuck in a rut. After getting married and having two kids, she has come to be burdened by the same patterns of life that she once fought against. She ends up coming out of her shell when her youngest daughter asks her to take her father on as a client.
