On a cold evening in October seven mothers meet in the Chapel Cafe and take part in the Good Mothers' Club where they share their stories and advice on the good, bad and ugly sides of motherhood. Below are character descriptions of the eight women involved.
Sister Eleanor is the mysterious nun who runs the Good Mother's Club in the Chapel Cafe. She is well meaning, virtuous, honest and determined to put the good mothers on the right road through life.
Sapphire Meadows came from Trinidad and married a TV executive. She is a proud woman, determined to do her best for her only son, Eliott.
Christine Bishop is a mother of two who fears her life is becoming more meaningless with every passing year. Despite being a church going Christian she is attracted to a strange new age religion to bring her more fulfilment.
Nadine Verda runs an after school art club. She is a busy mum with three clever children and an emotionally distant husband.
Alice Plummer is a mental health worker and a mum. She's a good enough mother and a good enough psychologist, without endeavouring to be excellent at either. Trouble comes when Alice's only daughter, Lucy, develops a strong bond with a mysterious girl called Emily.
Olivia Marlow is studying computers, helping her husband in the tech industry. She becomes obsessed with the fantasy of being a 1950s housewife and starts to think this lifestyle would be the best way forward for the entire family.
Zoe Wraith is a part time accountant who finds that the school run is the bane of her life. She has triplet daughters who require much of her time and attention and a mosly absent husband.
Madeleine Sharpe is a young single mum. She is tempted to explore her submissive side with a mysterious, older, dominant man who seems to know all about the most secret and exotic experiences available in London.
