Mum Interrupted: Postcards from a Perfect Life

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 expatriate worlds of Dubai, Monaco, and London, it traces a life shaped by reinvention and the pressure to become whoever each environment required.

Set inside polished international worlds shaped by wealth, ambition, and social restraint, Mum Interrupted explores what happens when a life looks perfect from the outside, but no longer feels fully real from within.

This is not a story of achievements but a story of dreams. The ones we pause, the ones we bury, and the ones we dare to chase again.

Luxury is easy. Belonging is not.
