Description

It is 1978, Jess and her mother Eleanor struggle to sell socialism to Tamworth - a sleepy Midlands town that just doesn't want to know. So when Eleanor is invited to spend a summer teaching in East Germany, she and Jess jump at the chance. But friends can become enemies, and Jess soon discovers how easy it is to switch sides, and how sides can be switched for you, sometimes without you even knowing.

Professional reviews

"A charming, witty and original novel: Oranges are not the Only Fruit meets Goodbye Lenin. Motherland is a tender mother-daughter story and a tragi-comic portrait of a childhood overcome with belief. It's about loss of faith and loss of innocence, and what it's like to grow up on the losing side of history."
