Produktbeschreibung

Tender and profoundly moving, The Amendments is at once the novel of a nation over four decades, a love story, and an intricate family drama that will break your heart.

'An extraordinary achievement. The Amendments is about a lot of things - love, family, girlhood, growing up, sex, legacy, compassion - all blended into a moving plot' - Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist

Nell and her partner Adrienne are about to have a baby. For Adrienne, parenthood is 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 facing the painful truth: that she has been a mother before.

For Dolores, Nell's mother, the news also brings a reckoning: with the way her daughter's life unfolded fifteen years ago, with its inextricable ties to her own past, and with the tragedy that neither of them have spoken about since . . .

'Engrossing and moving' - Emma Donoghue, author of Room
'It cuts to the heart of what it means to be human' - Elizabeth Macneal, author of The Doll Factory
'As significant as it is enjoyable' - Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters
'Wonderfully compelling' - Joseph O'Connor, author of Star of the Sea

Set in Ireland against the backdrop of a series of abortion referendums, The Amendments is the debut novel from Niamh Mulvey, author of Hearts and Bones, and was selected by the Irish Independent, the Irish Times, the Irish Journal and VIP as one of the most anticipated novels of the year.
