You built the life you were meant to want.
So why aren’t you happy?
Mum Interrupted: Postcards from a Perfect Life is a literary memoir about identity, belonging, and the invisible cost of fitting in.
From a Tokyo modelling agency at seventeen to the world of global finance, the expatriate hierarchies of Dubai, the luxury ecosystems of Monaco, and the polished restraint of London, it traces a life shaped by movement, adaptation, and the accumulation of moments across cities and roles.
A woman learns to read social codes with precision. How to dress, how to speak, how to belong. She masters each environment she enters, and loses something of herself in the process.
This is a world of polished surfaces and unspoken rules, where ambition disguises itself as discipline, beauty becomes currency, and status is a language everyone pretends not to speak. Wealth shapes the rules, but rarely explains them.
A life that works and a self that no longer fully does. The postcard never shows the person holding the camera.
Luxury is easy. Belonging is not.
For readers of Rachel Cusk, Dolly Alderton, and Pandora Sykes.
