Description
A powerful and thought-provoking novel about the complexities of mother-daughter relationships and the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ communities. When a mother's daughter moves in with her, she expects a steady income and a good husband to start a family. But when her daughter brings her girlfriend, she is met with resistance and unwillingness to accept her into her home. The mother's own life has been built around her husband and child, and she struggles to understand her daughter's definition of family. As the daughter navigates her own life, including a case of unfair dismissal involving gay colleagues, the mother's refusal to accept her daughter's choices becomes increasingly difficult to bear. This beautifully written and intensely humane novel explores themes of ageing, generational attitudes, and the bond between mothers and daughters, raising important questions about what it means to be valued and accepted.
