About this book

Justine Cowan grew up with her mother's refined accent, claims of distinguished ancestry and unpredictable anger. After her mother's death, a neglected envelope offers a route into the past she had concealed. This memoir follows a daughter's attempt to understand the woman behind that carefully maintained identity, tracing family secrets toward an institution whose history involved women and children pushed aside by society.
