Description
Janice Galloway's childhood was marked by quiet desperation and unspoken rage. Growing up in a tiny attic room above a doctor's surgery, she learned to keep out of the way, ignored by her elders amidst a household of complex relationships. In this intimate and often painful portrayal of family life, Galloway recalls the small details that defined her environment: the sound of her mother's weekly washing, the smell of her fur coat, and the stifling atmosphere of her sister Cora's make-up-filled nights out. As she watches the people around her, a silent observer begins to stir, her rage growing until she finds her voice. This is a powerful and deeply personal account of one woman's journey towards self-discovery, written with remarkable precision and insight into the complexities of family life.
