Speech therapist Paddy knows better than most how our speech marks us and shapes our destiny, but even he is totally unprepared and unable to cope when his mother Teresa wakes up one morning speaking in a heavy French accent. Deeply moving and disarmingly funny, Speech Marks is Damien Wilkins' finest novel to date.
