Mother to a Stranger
Nan and Jim have a good, strong marriage. Together they have been living a congenial life of self-sufficiency in north-west Ireland. But the arrival of a solicitor's letter one hot summer's morning undermines their idyll: a young man claiming to be Nan's son - a son Jim knows nothing about - is anxious to meet her. Writing with rare subtlety and great emotional insight, Leland Bardwell portrays a marriage under almost intolerable strain as she charts the halting attempts of Nan, Jim and the intruder son Charles to find a way towards a new set of relationships.
