Synopsis

"A gem of a novel...A book for our time..."Brilliant." Reviewers' welcome for "She, You, I," an emotional roller-coaster of a debut by Sally Keeble

When Skye Stanhope returns to her grandmother's childhood home, she’s searching for the roots of her life story. Why her tough-minded granny ran away to war. And why her brilliant mother died.

Behind the women’s successes, lies deep trauma. As Skye strips away the layers of secrecy, she confronts the forces that bound the women together, but also tore them apart. It's a journey from a poverty-stricken tenement block to an airtime airbase, through booming London to a coffee cart beside the sea.

Woven into the women’s lives is Tseng Hsiao Ling, a feisty, enigmatic seamstress whose fortunes become inextricably linked with theirs.

It's a sweeping tale of love, war and family secrets over three generations. Strong women forging their identities in turbulent times.

Through each woman’s story, “She, You, I” holds up a mirror to the complexity of family relationships: mothers, sisters, daughters, and the unexpected twists in Skye's search for closure.
