Description

A compelling and haunting novel of family, separationand finding one's place in the world'This is the first memory I have of my mamma, the first sweet memory.

Sometimes her laughter bursts into my head and I hear her call me - my name full and round in her mouth.

Frustratingly though, as with allthe memories I have of her, Mamma's face - always her face - blursunder the pressure of my focus.'Celia Mphephu works as a maid for Mr and Mrs Steiner in a leafy, white man's suburb of 1960s Johannesburg.

When racial tensions in the country reach fever pitch and the Steiners plan to relocate to England, they offer to adopt Celia's young daughter and raise her as their own. Separated by land and sea, Miriam finds England to be very different to the place the Steiners have told her about. And so begins her long journey through the years, back to South Africa, to find her mother and herself.
