Extraordinary. I loved it' - Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist
'Engrossing and moving' - Emma Donoghue, author of Room
'Wonderfully compelling' - Joseph O'Connor, author of Star of the Sea
Nell and her partner Adrienne are about to have a baby. For Adrienne, it’s the start of a new life. For Nell, it’s the reason the two of them are sitting in a therapist’s office. Because she can’t go into this without dealing with the truth: that she has been a mother before.
For Dolores, Nell’s mother, the news also brings a reckoning: with her own activist past, with what unfolded for her daughter fifteen years ago, and with a tragedy neither of them have spoken about since . . .
Niamh Mulvey's debut novel, The Amendments, was selected by the Irish Independent, the Irish Times, the Irish Journal and VIP as one of the most anticipated novels of the year.
