The List

by Moira Duff

Following the death of her son in World War 1, Granny Ross moves from the influence of her North of Scotland church to Edinburgh. Here, her beliefs, in the form of a list laying out Right and Wrong, begin to permeate through the family, bringing about mental illness, physical abuse and suicide. The relationship between Betty, the narrator, and her mother, is the pivotal heart of the story. The List is semi-autobiographical and is delightfully illustrated by the author whose style encapsulates poetry, humour and brutal honesty. -------------------------------------- Joanna Lumley OBE says...
