About The Book

My Daughter, My Mother by Annie Murray, translated into Marathi by Rama Nadguada, is a deeply emotional and thought-provoking narrative that explores the complexities of family, love, and self-discovery. The story revolves around two young mothers, Joanne and Sooky, who, despite their different backgrounds and struggles, find their lives intertwined as they share the burdens of their past and present.

Joanne, a sweet and shy woman, finds herself trapped in an increasingly abusive marriage. Her husband, once lively and promising, has turned violent, and Joanne is left too ashamed to confide in anyone. As her own family faces sudden challenges, including the hospitalization of her mother, Margaret, Joanne uncovers painful secrets about her mother’s past—secrets that have been buried for years.

Meanwhile, Sooky, who has already experienced the pain of a failed marriage, returns home to live with her parents. Her mother, Meena, refuses to speak to her, leaving Sooky to navigate the emotional silence and realize that her mother’s refusal to engage might be far more complex than it appears.

Set against the backdrop of Birmingham, My Daughter, My Mother explores the generational divide, the internal conflict of balancing East and West, and the hidden truths that mothers and daughters must face. As the story unfolds, both women learn about the hearts of their mothers and begin to understand the deeper emotional struggles they faced.

A powerful exploration of the emotional ties between mothers and daughters, this book captures the resilience and growth of women in difficult circumstances, all while navigating the complexities of love, loss, and the pursuit of self-identity.
