What is Mothertime about?

281 pages ; 20 cm "Five children (the oldest is just 12) who are fed up with their recently divorced mother's alcoholic rages and depression during the Christmas season lock her in the cellar sauna because "nothing happy ever happens when Mother is home." They manage to pull off a remarkable deception for months, fooling the housekeeper and even their father into believing that the woman has a new job that keeps her incredibly busy. Eventually, she "dries out" and is molded into the mother of their storybook image. In a diabolically twisted subplot, their father slowly manipulates his new, pregnant wife into giving up her independent status as an internationally respected writer, reducing her to blithering incompetence as a housewife and mother."--Booklist Originally published: London : Orion, 1993
