Esther van der Voort
How on earth did she end up in this situation? Life sometimes seems like one long chain of choices never made, but Mum has all sorts of questions of her own. Why did she get married? How did she end up with that dog? What is she supposed to do with this job? Why did she say “Okay, let’s have another baby,” when choosing a sofa can sometimes take two years?
Every now and then it all gets too much for Esther, and then you’d better watch out, because Mum is angry.
Angry at her kids, angry at her ex, angry at the girl on the till, angry at her satnav, angry at her boss – but above all: angry at herself.
