'Reading Ruth's story is like listening to a friend you know well. A deeply poignant read.' Family Tree Magazine

'Part history, part memoir, uncovering secrets, complex attitudes, painful memories, funny memories too - all brought together in this wonderful book.' Tony Fisher, BBC Radio Essex
'The characters are sharply etched and keenly observed.' Love East Magazine
'In the end we can only just write what we see and what we feel and you've done that beautifully.' Jason Solomons BBC Radio London
It’s never too late to say sorry. A whispered family tragedy ripples across three generations in this coming of age mother and daughter story. Sylvia is dying and her daughter, a British expat living in Dubai, recalls her childhood and the confusing relationship she had with her mother. After Sylvia’s death, she searches for explanations amongst her mother’s possessions, prompting uncomfortable childhood memories and clues to her mother’s sadness. The story moves back to London’s Jewish East End in 1930, where Rose is expecting a baby. When the natural order is disrupted, and part of our personal history is erased, who do we become? 'As children we assume our parents are perfect and complete creations, but mums and dads will inevitably misbehave, test the boundaries, make mistakes, stamp their feet and shed tears before they become the men and women they need to be.'
