I recently re-read Joanna Glen’s first book: The Other Half of Augusta Hope for my book group and was reminded of how much I’d loved it, so immediately upon finishing I looked on Amazon for more from the author and bought this.
The main character, Eva, realises at an early age that her family are not ‘normal’. Her father is almost always away on business, and her mother, though physically present is off in her own world of depressed withdrawal. Eva’s suspicions are further aroused when there are no baby photos of her, and details of her early live are hazy.
She makes it her life’s work to find the truth and in doing so travels to Cordova in Spain (a region where the writer lived as a student and writes about with obvious love and knowledge).
I love Joanna Glen’s writing style, and I loved this book – a heat wrenching and beautiful story of finding one’s place in the world and the different ways people can be mothers.

I just read this too and I’m intrigued about her first novel and I see she has a new one coming out very soon, Maybe, Perhaps, Possibly.
