THE BEST BOOKS FOR MUM: A CURATED READING LIST
By Nicole Fuge
Whether you’re hunting for the perfect gift for Mum or simply after a stack of soul-stirring reads to lose yourself in, this list has you covered. From memoirs that honour the beauty and complexity of motherhood to novels that feel like a warm embrace, these pages are filled with wisdom, wit, and wonder.
Give the gift of a quiet moment, a deep exhale, or an unputdownable story, because books are more than just gifts, they’re invitations to pause, reflect, and feel. For Mum, for you, or for anyone who needs a little magic between the covers.
