Her Mother's Daughter Summary

Her Mother's Daughter by Alice Fitzgerald

Hello! magazine's April 2018 'book of the week'

Set across two decades in London and Ireland, Her Mother's Daughter sees the lives of a troubled and emotionally abusive mother and her innocent ten-year-old daughter change forever after one summer holiday.

1980: Josephine flees her home in Ireland, hoping never to return. She starts a new, exciting life in London, but as much as she tries, she can't quite leave the trauma of her childhood behind.

Seventeen years and two children later, Josephine gets a call from her sister to tell her that their mother is dying and wants to see her - a summons she can't refuse.

1997: Ten-year-old Clare is counting down to the summer holidays, when she is going to meet her grandparents in Ireland for the first time. She hopes this trip will put an end to her mum's dark moods - and drinking.

But family secrets can't stay buried forever and following revelations in Ireland, everything starts to unravel. Have Josephine and her daughter passed the point of no return?

Her Mother's Daughter Reviews

A very moving, authentic portrait of an Irish family with deep secrets -- Claire McGowan, author of the Paula Maguire series
It's been a long time since I found a book so utterly engaging and enveloping. Mental illness and the long-term effects of emotional and sexual abuse are drawn with insight and subtlety. The writing is vivid and raw, the characters real, and the voices of mother and daughter feel pitch-perfect. I raced through it, so immersed that it kept me up half the night. * Charity Norman, bestselling author of AFTER THE FALL *
Hello! magazine's April 'book of the week' * Hello! *
A compelling read that is raw and poignant. * Woman magazine *
