Description

What does it mean when the identity out of which one builds a life turns out to be a lie What is the impact on one's self and those one loves Mother Tongue emerges from the fires of shocking loss, betrayal and grief-tested love. 'Mother Tongue is a profound and moving novel that asks complex questions with such crystal clarity they seem simple. Are we formed by our genes Our history Or do we make ourselves How do we lose each other More importantly: how do we find each other' - Sophie Cunningham 'Mother Tongue is a tender and sensitive story about family secrets, loss and recovery from loss; a wise and lyrical meditation on the nature of love.' - Gail Jones
