A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'A storyteller in the Joanna Trollope league, Long writes astutely and comically about the complexities of motherhood' Independent
'Warm, witty and wise' Red
'One of the authors that I rush out to buy straight away. I find her work challenging, witty, fresh and real' Adele Parks
'The new novel from best-selling writer of The Bad Mother's Handbook tells the story of Freya, torn between her free-spirited birth mother Melody and Viv, the woman who brought her up. When tragedy strikes, can the three women put their differences behind them and help each other live in peace?'
Bella 20/03/12
'It follows a young woman with two mothers in her life (adoptive and birth) and explores the way she handles those tricky relationships' Candis April issue
'Freya has two mothers - her adoptive mother Liv, and her birth mother Melody. And her two mothers are two extremes. One is strikingly down to earth and the other, frankly, all over the place. She is torn between them in this heart-warming and funny tale' The Lady 09/03/12
'Kate Long manages to create a unique voice for each of the characters - Freya, especially. Also the theme of adoption is one that's rarely covered, so it's a bit of an eye-opener and a chance to see how all the parties involved really feel' Heat 10/03/12

Présentation de l'éditeur

Freya is torn between her two mothers. Liv, her adoptive mother who nurtured and raised her, is earthy, no-nonsense. The total opposite to Melody: with her vibrant, explosive personality and extensive, brightly coloured wardrobe, Freya's birth mother is still apt to find herself thrown out of Top Shop for bad behaviour.
Hard as it has been for Freya to try to reconcile her two families, it has been harder for her mothers. Proud of her mature and sensible adoptive daughter, Liv fears Melody's restless influence. Meanwhile, forced to give up her baby when she was just a teenager herself, Melody now craves Freya's love and acceptance - but only really knows how to have fun.
Then tragedy strikes, and the bonds of love that tie these three women together will be tested to the max. Can they finally let go of the past, and pull together in order to withstand the toughest challenge life could throw them?
