Things My Mother Never Told Me

Blake Morrison

Following the acclaimed memoir And When Did You Last See Your Father,? Blake Morrison sets out to discover the many things he never knew about his mother's past. Through a series of letters from his parents' passionate World War II courtship, he uncovers a startling, touching story: a mysterious name change, a religious conundrum, and a frustrated career. Evocative and candid, Things My Mother Never Told Me paints an unforgettable picture of a quietly determined heroine and of a son's search to learn the truth about her.
