Description

For Claire Roth, an established psycho-therapist with an adoring husband and children, her new patient – Jody Goodman – a witty and attractive young filmmaker – is a welcome diversion from her predictable life. Jody, successful, yet uncertain, is disarmed by Claire s interest and approval. Gradually, the lines between friendship and family, between love and compulsion, begin to lose their focus – especially when one of them starts to believe fanatically that some things simply cannot be coincidences, and that what they share, in fact, is the deepest bond of all. In a Country of Mothers is a transfixing psychological thriller; in it A. M. forces us to confront our own judgements about sanity, danger and desire.
