About this listen
When Julia was eight, she was asked to be a bridesmaid at her beautiful cousin Iris’s wedding. Her mother saw this as a chore – expensive, inconvenient – but Julia was thrilled. When the time came, even the fact that her bridesmaid’s dress didn’t fit, and was plain cream rather than the pink she’d hoped for, couldn’t ruin the day. But after this, things began to go wrong for Julia, starting with an episode involving her cousin’s baby, a pram and a secret trip round the block.
A lifetime later, Julia is a child psychologist who every day deals with young girls said to be behaving badly. Some are stealing, some are running away from home, some are terribly untidy, some won’t eat or get out of bed. Julia has a special knack with these girls. She understands which really are troubled, and which are at the mercy of the way they are seen by the adults around them. But one day, Julia’s own troubled past starts to creep into her present. And as she struggles to understand her childhood self, she must confront the possibility that the truth may not be as devastating as she feared.

Your childhood influences you forever.
Darkly enthralling and excellent narration made this one to remember. Margaret Forster is one of those authors you wish you knew. Deals the confusions of life so expertly and entertainingly.

Genius writer
Margaret Forster's writing is just sublime. Love the cross generational approach here -- with the child becoming a child psychologist -- but MF's true genius lies in capturing the depths of those older (grumpy, emotionally repressed) mothers. Anyone interested in family dynamics and psychology will appreciate this. Don't be put off by the bland cover/title.
