On The Up by Alice O'keeffe

Can not-quite-perfect be enough? Big-hearted novel about motherhood, community and figuring out what's really worth fighting for.

On the Up is a gem of a novel that holds up a mirror to the way we live now- Red

Alice O'Keeffe's funny and compassionate debut novel shows a deep understanding of contemporary urban life, and covers themes of dependence, parenthood, post-natal depression, social housing and the wealth divide. - New Statesman
