‘Painful, raw and with an honesty that rings clear as a bell’
Catherine Simpson, author of When I Had a Little Sister A searing
account of a mother’s late-diagnosis of autism – and its
reaching effects on a whole family. ‘[A] vividly told and
profoundly affecting memoir’ The Bookseller ‘A brilliant,
searing account and I defy anyone not to be gripped by it.’
Sally Magnusson Anna grew up in a house that was loving, even if
her mum was ‘a little eccentric’. They knew to keep things
clean, to stay quiet, and to look the other way when things started
to get ‘a bit much for your mum’. It’s only when her mother
reaches her 70s, and Anna has a family of her own, that the cracks
really start to appear. More manic. More irrational. More detached
from the world. And when her father, the man who has calmed and
cajoled her mother through her entire life becomes unwell, the
whole world turns upside down. This is a story of a life lived with
undiagnosed autism, about the person behind the disorder, those big
unspoken family truths, and what it means to care for our parents
in their final years.
