The Truth About Melody Browne - Lisa Jewell

Superior chicklit* from Lisa Jewell, tackling the difficult subject of infant mortality and a mother's post-natal depression.

The impact these both have on the lives and futures of their families and friends is told from the perspective of bewildered-but-still-loving surviving older daughter, Melody. The narrative jumps between the present, which is where we first meet Melody as a 30-something mother herself, and her 1970's childhood past, as she unearths long buried memories of the first nine years of her life.
