Motherwell - Deborah Orr

A moving and candid memoir about what it means to want something more, something different and the how the very people that raise us can also be the people that hold us back.

Deborah wanted to go to university, but her mother didn’t believe that was for the likes of her, a working-class Scottish girl of the 60s/70s. She went but this beautiful memoir recounts the struggles and the never-ending lure of the ties that bind.
