What you need to know before your trail

The old millennium turns into the new.

In the same hospital, two very different women give birth to two very similar daughters.

Hope leaves with a beautiful baby girl.

Anna leaves with empty arms.

Seventeen years later, the gods who keep watch over broken-hearted mothers wreak mighty revenge, and the truth starts rolling, terrible and deep, toward them all.

The power of mother-love will be tested to its limits.

Perhaps beyond . . .

Travel Guide

Bristol and London with hints of Africa

Not a novel for locations as such but the story does involve two cities where mothers have babies and then return to their respective lives. One of the mothers Hope, has a Jamaican background and the baby’s father returns to Africa so a cultural tie to another land as well.

Dawn French is a national treasure though and it’s the emotions and heart-break that are the settings in this story. It’s about the unique love between mothers and daughters.
