The House Of Hidden Mothers by Meera Syal
A middle-aged British-Asian woman, longing for a second child despite fertility challenges and a complicated family life, turns to commercial surrogacy in India with her younger partner. Her journey becomes entwined with that of a young Indian woman who sees surrogacy as a path to autonomy and escape from poverty, bringing both hope and peril. As their lives intersect across continents, the story probes motherhood, identity, and the moral gray areas of the global fertility industry, confronting power imbalances, cultural expectations, and what it means to build a family.
