From the acclaimed author of The Well and The Half Sister.
‘Need. Crave. Fear. Lovely monosyllabic verbs which perch like hungry gulls on top of the iceberg floating in a cold sea.’
This is no ordinary book about adoption. It is Catherine Chanter’s story of her search for her birth parents and follows the twists and turns of that extraordinary detective story. But Catherine also sits on adoption panels and has spent her working life supporting vulnerable children from fractured families. And so it brings together the personal and the professional in a rich and insightful exploration of adoption.
This book is for everyone interested in or touched by adoption. It speaks to you all from a base of acknowledgement, wisdom, and honesty.
