MEET EVA MARTÍNEZ-GREEN, AN ONLY CHILD FULL OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HER BEGINNINGS.
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…

Een prachtig boek over het innerlijk weten van een meisje dat haar moeder niet haar moeder is en de zoektocht die volgt. Je wordt als lezer volledig in het gevoel van de ‘ik’ getrokken: het kleine verloren meisje, maar ook in het diepgewortelde verlangen dat alleen door die ene echte moeder vervuld kan worden. En het besef dat geluk niet buiten jezelf ligt, maar dat het in jou zelf te vinden is. Ontroerend mooi. Tenenkrommend ongemakkelijk. En voelbaar wanneer het kind-zijn omslaat naar de volwassene; zowel in de jonge als oudere mensen. Jammer van de rare stemmetjes. Gelukkig is de gewone voorlees-stem prima.Fiona, auteur van Ontrafeld, ook beschikbaar als luisterboek
