I Wish You Weren't My Mummy Book

A hard-hitting, powerful tale of an abused child in a mixed-race family, set in a Lancashire village in the early 1960s. I Wish You Weren't My Mummy takes the reader into the mind of a child as she creates a fantasy life for herself to escape the appalling treatment meted out to her by her heartless mother and hot-tempered Irish father. Cruel, beautiful Mummy cares only about her make-up and her many affairs. Daddy can only react with his fists. Caught in the middle, Lorne has to find somewhere to turn. The backdrop of this child's tale is a vividly portrayed, nostalgic England of farthings, Sunday schools and strong village communities that take care of their own. As a counter to the horrors that Lorne experiences, redemption comes in the distinctly Lancastrian down-to-earth humour and kindness which save her.Read More
