Ten worst mothers in fiction

Last year BookFinder.com came up with a list of the ten worst mothers in fiction.

One mother on the list:

Sarah from Little Children by Tom Perrotta

Sarah joins the ranks of the litany of literary mothers who neglect their children to focus the self gratification of an affair. While defiantly not the only woman in literature to commit this motherly sin she is getting singled out, I can only have ten on the list.

Read about the other mothers on the list.
