Between her emotionally absent mother and her physically absent father, there is nobody to answer them. Eva is convinced that all is not as it seems. Why are there no baby pictures of her? Why do her parents avoid all questions about her early years?
When her parents’ relationship crumbles, Eva begins a journey to find these answers for herself. Her desire to discover where she belongs leads Eva on a journey spanning decades and continents – and, along the way, she meets women who challenge her idea of what a mother should be, and who will change her life forever…

All My Mothers
by Joanna Glen
Review by Sarah
This book was simply a delight. From ages 4 to 40, this coming-of-age story is steeped in emotion every moment of the way. It’s one girl’s journey to find her birth mother and the realisation that mothers – and family – can be found in the most unexpected places. Glen’s writing style is sublime and entrapped me in the world and desires of her characters. Highly recommend.
