After her mother, Brenda, passed away and her father sold the family home, broadcaster and writer Emma Kennedy found herself floundering, unable to make peace with the complex, charismatic woman who had been her mum. And then they found the letters....

This heartbreakingly funny book about the impact of discovering lost letters is a celebration of correspondence; those lost acts of penned love, the vivid snapshots in time scattered back through a life.

It is also about a childhood shrouded in shame, the lies Brenda told her family, the madness that set in and ultimately, what it means to be a daughter and a mother. Finally, Emma allows herself to explore what she couldn't while she was growing up: the question of who her mother really was.

As someone who knows a bit about mental health and it's fragility, I really feel for Emma and her family. The story that is told is about a brilliant woman who never had a chance to get help due to the time she was born in. The readers are fantastic, the story sad but enjoyable and I finished it with regret that there weren't pictures available to accompany this book - what did Brenda look like?
Thank you for sharing this story Emma.

Brilliant, sad, poignant. Letters written with lo

I loved this book, such an engrossing story, although it’s not a story as it’s Emma’s account of her mother’s life. It’s a wonderful presentation having the letters read by Harriet Walter with Emma herself reading the remainder of the book. It’s funny and heart rending from moment to moment. So enjoyable in fact that I’ve bought the book.

Totally engrossing book
