Memoirs of an Unfit Mother

Meer over het boek

The narrative explores the complex relationship between Anne Robinson and her mother, a wealthy market trader with a strikingly dual personality reminiscent of both a media mogul and a saint. As Anne embarks on her journey as a young reporter in Fleet Street, her mother's influence manifests in lavish gifts like a mink coat and advice on self-care, reflecting the contrasting values of ambition and nurturing. This dynamic sets the stage for a deeper examination of identity and familial expectations in the competitive world of journalism.
