Description

It is 2015 and Patricia Cowan is very old. ‘Confused today’ read the notes clipped to the end of her bed. Her childhood and her years at Oxford during the Second World War – those things are solid in her memory. Then comes a phone call… Her memory splits in two. She was Trish, a housewife and mother of four. She was Pat, a successful travel writer and mother of three. She remembers living her life as both women, so very clearly. Which memory is real – or are both just tricks of time and light?

Professional reviews

"The day Mark called, Patricia Cowan’s world split in two: what if you could remember two versions of your life? ‘Good novels show us a character's destiny as an expression of who they fundamentally are. What most novels do only once, My Real Children does twice.’ PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ‘Such a wise book, about sweetness in sorrow, without any sentiment... It's easy to write a sad book, but this one uplifts and sweetens even as it tears your heart to pieces.’ COREY DOCTOROW"
