Description
‘Rich and intricately drawn... luminous prose’ Carolyn Parkhurst
After the birth of her daughter Emma, the usually resilient Majella finds herself feeling isolated and exhausted. Then, at her childhood home, Majella discovers the diary of her maternal ancestor Ginny, and is shocked to read a story of murder in her family history.
With the famine upon her, Ginny Doyle fled from Ireland to America, but not all of her family made it. What happened during those harrowing years, and why does Ginny call herself a killer? Is Majella genetically fated to be a bad mother, despite the fierce tenderness she feels for her baby?
Determined to uncover the truth of her heritage and her own identity, Majella sets out to explore Ginny's past — and discovers surprising truths about her family and ultimately, herself.
The Crooked Branch by Jeanine Cummins is a captivating tale that weaves together the threads of personal and familial history, exploring the burdens of the past and the resilience of the human spirit.
