About this listen

'Haunting' Telegraph ‘Fresh and daring' KATE SAWYER

‘One of the best books I’ve read in a while … A real triumph’ ELIZABETH MACNEAL

'A haunting novel … Overwhelming and seductive' LUCIE ELVEN

–––

‘When my mother washed my hair she crooned, mamele, mamele, into my ear. Little mother, meaning little daughter, meaning you’re a good girl, Edie.’

Edie lives with her partner Joanna in a crumbling country house in Broadstairs. They have spent over a decade together since the death of Harry, the third member of their polyamorous relationship. It’s a quiet, comfortable existence – but conversations about the mother who abandoned her have recently awoken in Edie feelings she long thought buried.

Mamele is a stylish, searing drama about the complicated love between mothers and daughters, the indelible impact of estrangement and one woman fiercely coming into her own.
