Mother Can You Hear Me?

Description

Angela Bradbury has an appalling mother - self-effacing, self-sacrificing, expert at emotional blackmail. But in her relationship with her eldest and very difficult daughter, Sadie, Angela realises that she is imposing the same resentments and guilt that her mother inflicted on her.

Born in Carlisle, Margaret Forster was the author of many successful and acclaimed novels, including Have the Men Had Enough?, Lady's Maid, Diary of an Ordinary Woman, Is There Anything You Want? , Keeping the World Away, Over and The Unknown Bridesmaid. She also wrote bestselling memoirs - Hidden Lives, Precious Lives and, most recently, My Life in Houses - and biographies. She was married to writer and journalist Hunter Davies and lived in London and the Lake District. She died in February 2016, just before her last novel, How to Measure a Cow, was published.
