Description for The English Daughter
Paperback. .
As a child I was aware of my mother being different from my father and his family, and that her difference was somehow connected with her being Irish, but I knew almost nothing of her youth and upbringing. In the year or so before she died, she did begin to talk to me about her past. The first sequence of the book is based on those childhood memories. Only after my mother's death do I go to Tipperary and there I begin to discover another story, the life she never told me about.
