Look insideHer Mother's Face
Siobhán can remember the way her mother joked. And she can just about feel her mother’s hands, lifting her up. But she can’t remember her mother’s face any more, and her father is too sad to help. Then one day, a mysterious woman appears and tells Siobhán a secret: something that will bring back all that’s been forgotten… From Ireland’s greatest writer, Roddy Doyle, comes a magical book to treasure: a story of love and loss that you will never forget.
