Product description

A family novel that gets under your skin: Is pregnant Georgie ready to find out what her mother has been hiding for 20 years? 32-year-old Georgie is eight months pregnant when she accidentally receives a clue to the whereabouts of her mother Nancy. 20 years ago, Nancy had left her family just like that - without explanation, without saying goodbye. Now that Georgie is becoming a mother herself, she can understand it even less than she did then. But she has the feeling that she needs answers to finally find peace in her own life. Together with her brother Dan, Georgie travels to the Scottish Highlands, where her mother has been reported in the media. On the way, memories of her childhood come back that raise more and more questions. Was it Georgie's fault that Nancy left? And was her father really the hero in the story? What the siblings find out about their family shakes all their certainties. And it calls into question Georgie's own decisions.

Einfühlsam und ergreifend, ohne kitschig zu werden , erzählt Jo Leevers¿ berührender Familienroman 'In den Augen meiner Mutter' von den Dynamiken innerhalb einer Familie, von den Banden zwischen Müttern und ihren Kindern, von Lügen und Geheimnissen und davon, wie unsere Erinnerungen uns täuschen können. Eine bewegende Familiengeschichte, die Leser*innen von 'Der Gesang der Flusskrebse*'* oder 'Vom Ende der Einsamkeit' tief berühren wird.
