Bessie Quinn was an early 20th century New Woman, a mother living
her love story in the enchanted world of the Garden City. When she
died in the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918-19, her shattered husband
abandoned her memory, belongings and life history. Her
disappearance reverberated down generations. Starting with only an
Arts and Crafts kettle, one photo and a linen smock, Ursula has
restored her grandmother to life. After long searches she found
Bessie in the Scottish Borders, eighth child of working-class Irish
parents who'd fled hunger after the Great Famine of the 1840s. This
biography of a poor family unearths hard journeys of love, luck and
loss, weaving historical fact with memory and imagination into a
compelling story.
