A true story of the passionate and tragicomic relationship between
a mother running from her past in Hitler's Germany and a daughter
running towards it. Inge was German, half-Jewish and a Holocaust
survivor, all of which she chose to deny until the very end.
Talented and able, charismatic and infuriating, she surged through
life constantly reinventing herself. Sent out of Nazi Germany to
the souks of Meknes, she fled a freezing attic in war-torn Brussels
to land in a council estate in Birkenhead. London offered the
escapee a new start until her past caught up with her. Triumph
finally came in France where nobody knew who she was - least of all
the friends who adored her. Led by emotions she could barely
understand, let alone control, Inge divided, and often she
conquered. After her death, deep secrets emerged. Her daughters
knew that she had always misled others - but not that they, too,
might be collateral damage. Compelling, frank, and witty, this
memoir is part detective story, part daughterly fury. Drawn to
embrace the identity her mother could not bear, Monique
Charlesworth has dug deep into Inge's story, unveiling tragedy,
passion, heartbreak and, finally, the truth.
