THE MOTHERLOAD

The heroine of Cecelia Ahern’s new novel, In a Thousand Different Ways, is caregiver to her bipolar mother; while Wisani Mushwana‘s A Soft Landing also features a protagonist who is the child of a tormented mother. Mbali Sikakana asks the two authors how mental illness changes a family and shapes a novel – and about that moment when you start parenting a parent.
