Sinossi
Due donne, due madri, due famiglie. Madeleine ha un blog molto seguito in cui parla di maternità in tono ironico e dissacrante, Mamma matta. Tra ospitate in tv e contratti editoriali, la sua fama è in ascesa. Ha due figli, Clara di cinque anni e Jake di otto, e d'accordo con il marito Tom, spaventata dallo spettro dell'autismo, ha deciso di non vaccinarli. Dopo un viaggio in Florida, però, Clara si ammala di morbillo. Kate fa l'infermiera, è vedova e dalla morte del marito si dedica completamente alla sua bambina di cinque anni, Rosie. Piano piano riesce a ricostruire con lei un equilibrio fatto di abitudini e piccoli gesti, ma proprio quando a Kate sembra di poter tornare a respirare, anche Rosie si ammala. La diagnosi è morbillo, contro il quale la bimba, per una forma di allergia, non è vaccinata. Per la piccola, però, le complicanze mediche sono gravissime. È così che comincia lo scontro tra Kate e Madeleine, due madri come tante che loro malgrado si ritrovano capofila di schieramenti opposti, in una battaglia che si trascina fino alle aule dei tribunali. Un romanzo ricco di svolte inaspettate, che riflette sulle scelte impossibili cui ogni genitore è chiamato e cerca, senza dare giudizi sommari, di rispondere alla domanda più difficile: chi decide se una madre è buona o cattiva?

4.5 stars. Keep You Safe by Melissa Hill is most certainly an issue driven book. You may never have considered vaccination as an issue. My generation took it for granted as something you just did. I still highly value the blessing vaccinations bring in countering many illnesses. Yet there are those
This review was originally posted on Between My Lines Well if ever a book reminds you that there are two sides to every story, it's Keep You Safe by Melissa Hill. I would have said I had little or no interest in the topic of vaccines, but this book transformed it into an absorbing subject. I engaged Leggi tutto
4.5 ⭐️ I decided to read Keep You Safe as I was intrigued by the book description it’s the first book I’ve read by Melissa Hill and what a book it turned out to be, it’s a thought provoking read, and it’s one that will certainly cause heated debate amongst its readers. My own son was vaccinated and t Leggi tutto
Four and a half stars. Every parent makes choices for their children. This book focuses on the issue of vaccination. For single mum Kate O'Hara, she never had the choice of whether to vaccinate her child Rosie against measles, because Rosie is one of a small percentage of children allergic to the vac Leggi tutto
Maybe it's just me, but I resent someone trying to force me to feel sympathy for a character who lacks any empathy or foresight.
"good mother or bad... who decides?" i do. vaccinate your kids you fucking weirdos. i don't like it when books try to make me sympathise with complete idiots so it is not getting more than 3stars just for that. like babe what do u mean your child will be autistic if u vaccinate it? "why should m
Rating: 4.5/5 This is a thought provoking read, concerned with choices which are controversial regarding the voluntary vaccination of children against Measles, Mumps and Rubella. Carla and Rosie are two girls attending the small village school and neither of them have been vaccinated. Carla didn’t ha Leggi tutto
A super special thank you goes out to Goodreads and Harper Collins publishing/ Mira Books. Thank you so very much for allowing me to read this book beforehand. Please note that this is an uncorrected proof that I read. So somethings I mention might not be in the final version of the book and that t
