Product Description

Product Description

From the author of four bestselling autobiographies and a number of equally successful novels, comes another moving tale.

A triumph of innocence over hypocrisy…

Alicia Woodman was born into a home that should have been filled with comfort and joy. Her mother Elizabeth was bright and vivacious, Humphrey Woodman was a prosperous businessman. But Alicia was not Humphrey’s child and he would have nothing to do with her, and before long Elizabeth, too, turned her back on her daughter.

It was left to Polly Ford, widow of a dock labourer, to bring Alicia up, to teach her to say ‘Yes, Mama’ and to give the child the love she so desperately needed. In a hypocritical society full of thin-lipped disapproval, Alicia would learn that the human spirit can soar over adversity and that, though blood may be thicker than water, love is the most powerful relationship of all…

"Yes Mamma" is a beautifully written book. You felt compelled to read on and learn the fate of Alicia Woodman. It is an evocative and moving story exploring the lives and views of many upper class families during the early 20th century. "Yes Mamma" has been written with emotion and understanding allowing the reader to feel part of the novel and enabaling them to sympathise with the characters. It is a wonderfull book and an engaging read. I enjoyed greatly and can well recomend it.

I enjoyed this book very much. It is well written and well researched as I could tell by the wealth of information given about those times in Liverpool. It is not cheerful but is interesting and the characters are well rounded and believable.The main individuals are not beautiful and don't have easy lives but are like real people. It made me want to read more of her books.
