The first 30 pages have set the scene well, alternating between Josephine leaving her home and family in Ireland in 1980 and her 10 year old daughter Claire, going to Ireland 17 years later to meet her mother's family for the first time.
There are strong hints that Josephine's unhappy upbringing in Ireland have resulted in her being a abusive and unsettling mother to Claire and her younger brother. I need to read the rest of the book to find out why.
