Mamele
Mamele
Haunting' Telegraph --- `Fresh and daring' KATE SAWYER `One of the best books I've read in a while . A real triumph' ELIZABETH MACNEAL 'A complex story about motherhood, inheritance and the things we're willing to forsake in the name of desire' AMY TWIGG 'A haunting novel . Overwhelming and seductive' LUCIE ELVEN --- `When my mother washed my hair she crooned, mamele, mamele, into my ear. Little mother, meaning little daughter, meaning you're a good girl, Edie.' Edie lives with her partner Joanna in a crumbling country house in Broadstairs. They have spent over a decade together since the death of Harry, the third member of their polyamorous relationship. It's a quiet, comfortable existence - but conversations about the mother who abandoned her have recently awoken in Edie feelings she long thought buried. Mamele is a stylish, searing drama about the complicated love between mothers and daughters, the indelible impact of estrangement and one woman fiercely coming into her own.
