AS FEATURED ON EMMA KENNEDY'S BOOKSHELF 'IMMERSIVE, AMAZING,
REMARKABLE' MARIAN KEYES 'JANET ELLIS WRITES WITH TENDERNESS AND
WISDOM' ERIN KELLY 'AN ATMOSPHERIC, CLEVER NOVEL THAT WILL GET
UNDER YOUR SKIN' RED Marion Deacon sits by the hospital bed of her
dying husband, Michael. Outwardly she is, as she says, an
unremarkable old woman. She has long concealed her history - and
her feelings - from the casual observer. But as she sits by
Michael's bed, she's haunted by memories from almost forty years
ago . . . Marion Deacon is a wife and mother, and not particularly
good at being either. It's the 1970s and in her small village the
Swinging 60s, the wave of feminism, the prospect of an exciting
life, have all swerved past her. Reading her teenage daughter's
diary, it seems that Sarah is on the threshold of getting
everything her mother Marion was denied, and Marion cannot bear it
- what she does next has terrible and heart-breaking consequences
for the whole family. Janet Ellis writes of the exquisite pain of
being in the wrong place at the wrong time, the complexity of
family and a mother-daughter relationship that is as memorable as
it is utterly believable. 'ELLIS WRITES BEAUTIFULLY' DAILY MAIL 'AN
EMOTIONAL EPIC' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 'AFFECTING, ENGAGING AND
READABLE' OBSERVER 'A TALE OF SILENCES, SECRETS AND
MISUNDERSTANDINGS' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'ENGROSSING' MIRROR
