Audio extract
Robert Taylor has written a bittersweet and ultimately unforgettable memoir of her early life in South London in the fifties. Too Many Mothers is a portrait of an embattled family at war with itself and the outside world. From petty crime to pet monkeys, tender romance to emotional blackmail, illegitimacy, adoption and even murder. You won't be able to put this book down!
'The story is full of humour, but is also tinged with terrible sadness as some of the family members suffer considerable misfortunes and the inevitable demise of some characters brings you close to tears. Roberta very distinctive voice brings to life her own incredible story with passion.'
