- "Vijf kinderen houden hun moeder gevangen om haar te leren hoe ze zich als echte moeder moet gedragen."
- "Carolina Townsend comes stumbling home drunk on Christmas Eve, and her 12-year-old daughter Vanessa and the four younger children lock her up in the basement sauna with the threat that they won't release her until she proves herself to be "a proper mother" again."
- ""Five children (the oldest is just 12) who are fed up with their recently divorced mother's alcoholic rages and depression during the Christmas season lock her in the cellar sauna because "nothing happy ever happens when Mother is home." They manage to pull off a remarkable deception for months, fooling the housekeeper and even their father into believing that the woman has a new job that keeps her incredibly busy. Eventually, she "dries out" and is molded into the mother of their storybook image. In a diabolically twisted subplot, their father slowly manipulates his new, pregnant wife into giving up her independent status as an internationally respected writer, reducing her to blithering incompetence as a housewife and mother."--Booklist."@en
