Before Biff and her younger brother, Mark, there had been Alison. A baby who had drowned in the bath, whose grave they never visited. By the age of five or six, Biff was asking how Alison had drowned. She and Mark had a bath every day- were they in danger of drowning? Slowly the real story of Alison began to emerge; slowly the erratic behaviour of Biff's mother became more obvious to her. In My Mother's Hands is the story of a young girl fearful of her mother, yet fearing that her mother might be taken away forever and locked up. Aware of her mother's delusions and paranoia yet knowing that her father, the famous historian, is under surveillance by ASIO. Book jacket.
