'Themes of motherhood, lost identity and the past have resonance and relevance ... The tremulous, delicate process of friendship is beautifully handled' SUNDAY TIMES
'A poignant, beautifully written book' THE LADY
Inge is tall and cool and Mira is petite and dynamic. When they meet, each is attracted by something special and different about the other. But friendships based on the attraction of opposites can be stormy, and theirs is no exception.
Blonde Inge is a native of Sweden, while dark Mira has fled there to escape the living hell of Chile at the time of the military coup led by General Pinochet. They are brought together by their mutual love of plants, but this gentle pastime is soon overshadowed by the terrible legacy of Mira's past. It is a legacy that will reach out to touch many lives, including those of Inge and Mira's children.
Written with sympathy and insight and sparkling with unexpected humour, INGE & MIRA is a deeply moving tale of lives haunted by past violence.
