Publisher's Summary
Exploring themes of ownership and abandonment, Eleanor Anstruther’s debut is a fictionalised account of the true story of Enid Campbell (1892-1964), granddaughter of the 8th Duke of Argyll, who sold her son to her sister for £500.
Interweaving one significant day in 1964 with a decade during the interwar period, A Perfect Explanation gets to the heart of what it is to be bound by gender, heritage and tradition, to fight, to lose, to fight again. In a world of privilege, truth remains the same; there are no heroes and villains, only people misunderstood.
Here, in this extraordinary audiobook where the unspoken is conveyed with vivid simplicity, lies a story that will leave you reeling.

Interesting Approach to a family tale.
It was an interesting book. Not sure if I loved or hated it. The characters were well written and their emotions and perspectives explored. The author highlighted the issue of post natal depression and mental illness and the lack of knowledge and treatment available historically and the impact on those around.

good story. great narration!
I wasn't sure about this book at first but I persevered and got engrossed towards the end. knowing it's a true story makes it more interesting too. Seriously though this has been one of the best narrators I've heard in a while!
