About the book

Synopsis

Angela Bradbury has an appalling mother - self-effacing, self-sacrificing, expert at emotional blackmail. But in her relationship with her eldest and very difficult daughter, Sadie, Angela realises that she is imposing the same resentments and guilt that her mother inflicted on her.

What the critics say

Margaret Forster's...novel about mothers and daughters...is one of the most painfully honest I have ever read. It raised agonising questions about female identity, asking whether the role of mother leaves anything over for the individual woman, and whether daughters can ever shake off the past
