Mother Country by Jeremy Harding
When Jeremy Harding was a child, his mother Maureen told him he was adopted. It was only later, as Harding set out to look for traces of his birth mother, that he began to understand who his adoptive mother really was - and the benign make-believe world she'd built for herself and her little boy.
"'Beautifully written, funny and sad, this book is simply captivating' Cressida Connolly"
