Tell Me What I Am

by Una Mannion
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
'Beautiful, haunting.' LOUISE KENNEDY 'Vividly real.' MARIAN KEYES 'A sure-footed and emotionally complex novel . . . absorbing.' IRISH TIMES Please don't hang up. I don't know if you remember. You used to live with me. You and your mother. Ruby lives with her father in an old farmhouse at the end of a dirt road. He teaches her to hunt, to forage for mushrooms, to gut a fish. She learns to tiptoe around his temper - and never to ask about her absent mother. Ruby has no idea that, hundreds of miles away, a woman she barely remembers is desperate to answer those same questions. Over fourteen years, four hundred miles apart, these two women slowly begin to unearth the secrets and lies at the heart of their family, and the history of power and control that has shaped them both in such different ways. Captivating, tender and deeply moving, Tell Me What I Am is an unforgettable portrait of the indelible bonds of family - and how far we will go for the ones we love. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: 'A brilliantly told story, engrossing, with love, pain, heartbreak and darkness. The characterisation was excellent and the plot was moving and gently woven.' 5* reader review 'A book to savour and appreciate as well as enjoy.' 5* reader review 'This is a beautifully written novel with powerfully drawn characters.' 5* reader review 'Had me hooked... Loved it.' 5* reader review **Una Mannion's first novel, A Crooked Tree, is available now**
