Produktinformationen zu „Incendiary “
Presents a part thriller, part satire, part memorial to a dead child, showing an east-end woman trying every way she can to climb out of despair, and a society in the grip of fear and self-interest. This book has a story in which everyone is compromised - where personal betrayals reflect national ones, and Britain's class system is a ticking bomb.
Klappentext zu „Incendiary “
You aren't stupid.You know there's no such thing as a perfect mother.
Plenty of other books will tell you there is, but this one won't lie to you.
I was weak and I cheated and I was punished, but my god I loved my child through all of it.
Love means you never break, and it means you're stronger than the things they do to you. I know this is true because I have been through fire, and I am the proof that love survives.
I am not a perfect mother but I will tell you the perfect truth, because this is you and me talking.
This is my story.
